Sorry I phrased it badly.  Just an incorrect way of thinking.  I am
subscribed to [ga-full]  and assume that a person might be subscribed to
[ga] when they get suspended.

Without quite understanding how these two lists are related, the suspended
person can then post mail which is distributed to everone on [ga-full] but
not those on[ga].  Thus they are invisible as far as the normal mailing list
is concerned.

However, as the are not posting to [ga] they can say what they like.

I agree with you other comments (yes, we need a secretary) and would like to
see what people's views are.  If we need to handle complaints urgently, five
people is a bit hard to manage.
