Personally, I consider that "wall" an essential feature. It can be turned 
off (or at least it could, in older versions. I suppose it's possible 
that the developers have recently made it mandatory), but if it's turned 
off, then anybody can go through the list archives, and that means that 
anybody who posts to the list ends up having their posts indexed on 
Google and other search engines, even if they intended their posting to 
be restricted to the membership of the list. It also means that posting 
to the list exposes your E-mail address to spambots.

God bless,

Greg
