If the list were closed and you were on the road and
needed to send mail to the list you could:

1) get a free "hotmail" (www.hotmail.com) or other web-based e-mail account
2) subscribe to the list
3) post your message from whateverfreewebmailserveryouchose.com

I think one could accomplish this in 5 minutes at
a public library or i-cafe.

Wouldn't this work?  In what situation
would one have access to the internet but be unable
to subscribe to the list?
