How is my mailing list a public forum?  It gets posted nowhere publically,
only to private users' individual mailboxes.  Please explain to me how,
exactly, that constitutes a 'public forum'.

I do restrict who can subscribe.  I don't let any address from
findmail.com join up, for example.  Is this sufficient to make it
a "private forum" instead of a "public forum"?
