Right.
So some people might be interested to read them.
But the posters might prefer that they didn't.
But it isn't just about that...
Its also for the benefit to the non-members.
It goes some way towards preventing the outside looking in effect as they get the urge to respond and find that they are prevented because there aren't any more places.I don't really see why you think it is more important to have people who can't post read. I don't really see how that outweighs preventing the outside looking in effect and the benefits posters to the small board would gain from additional safety.
