not really, probably 90% of mailing lists are open to unsubscribed posts...
90% of open (subscribable by the public) lists at least. If a small group
of people on a committee use a list to talk amongst themselves, it's often
welcome for non-committee members to post comments and questions to the list
so that a member can get back to them or bring it into the discussion... or
something like that usually.
