I had planned to leave it a few days for people to have a chance to
comment.  I ended up leaving it two weeks (a little longer than I
planned, but still...).

Yesterday I went to look into it, found a large number of pending
messages and went though them, discarding the spam and approving the
ham. 

I then disabled the auto-response email that told people their message
had to be approved (as I think that is the most annoying part of the
process), made sure that I got notifications of non-subscriber email,
and left it subscriber-only for now.
My plan was to approve things promptly and monitor the spam levels and
the hassle (to me) level, and decided then whether to open it
completely or not.

However it seems that someone has beaten me to it and made the list
open while I slept.....

So, maybe I'll just leave it that way.
