This could be a problem if the software didn't allow non-posting members.  I
was unaware that some of the list serve software could do this
automatically.  

I don't have a problem with this and think it would be great if it can be
done with creating a huge staff time commitment.  Does this guy know that we
aren't really using this for much more than a trial at this time?

That's exactly what it means John.  A non-posting member would receive 
all list posts via email, but would not be able to participate in the 
list in any other way.  It would save them the trouble of having to 
continually check the archives for new posts. 

At the time, this would take 'manual' administration just to set up this 
type of subscription.  In the future, after this trial phase, we should 
keep this in mind in order to be certain that the list host (or hosting 
software) we'll be using allows for non-posting subscribers to easily 
self subscribe and unsubscribe.
