Might be a little more work to handle, but could individual logins be granted to people who email (offlist) and set them up? Would provide a way of controlling access... (and there could be a component that you also need to email the list or something if we want proof of membership)...
 
As for the numbers here - yes, the list may have 500 members - but how many are active? I have an old account filled with SPAM - it's on there, but inactive... so there may be a few multiples, and a LOT of people ignoring the influx (I suspect). Active members in the dozens...?

You're right Nick .. this list is VERY MUCH public ... in fact - I've
just found a twitter account spewing out links to every conversation
started on here:

http://twitter.com/#!/KLF_Updates

Not really sure what I make of that to be honest
