All my lists are moderated. Since we only have a few lists which allow
active participation, I see every message, be it a bounce, post or
whatever. For me, at least, it's not so bad if the bounced message goes
into the wrong folder (I filter ALL my mail). But definetly agreed,
although I think pulling all GEnie subscribers is a little severe.
