I see where you're coming from, but there's probably more than me on here who are just lurkers, and we'd be excluded because we don't post. I've been signed up to the list for months (nearly a year?) purely because I'm interested in LF. I don't have the equipment or the space for LF operation but I've followed the achievements that have been made between some of the members on this list and it always makes for interesting reading. Running a mailing list isn't difficult, but Yahoo groups is probably the best way to go. Those who want to get the messages by e-mail notice no difference, and there's the occasionally useful extras if needed. My 2p worth!
