I am talking about scenario where "read-only" users uses the very critical information but yet un-official as a forward to other list. You may say those information are public anyway, but there is a difference between receiving an information to actually referencing a public url. 

The list is published now, therefore anyone can presently forward any email on it. The mechanism I’m on makes it slightly easier, but that’s it. IMHO.

Also it may not ensure proper coordination as most of the read only users may start cross posting the communications of SC un-officially. In the long run, i did say there are more cons than pros on this item
