I suggest I slightly different solution...

Push regular discussion to the marketing list.  Anything that can be said in 
the open should be, but we do occasionally have topics that are better suited 
for a more regulated audience.  That's why this list was created as a closed 
list in the first place.

This is really more a change in policy than in configuration or 
infrastructure.  All Ambassadors need to be pointed to the marketing list for 
general discussion, and we'll have to develop appropriate posting habits.  We 
already expect Ambassadors to be on the Marketing list for that very reason.

If we need to take technical measures to encourage correct usage, we can do 
that, but let's just try expressing what we want to see and try to make it 
work.  I think each list has value as it is, we just have to make better use 
of them.
