You only have to be an SOG member to post messages to the list. The SOG list archive is publicly available and messages appear on the web at the same time as they appear in your inbox: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Genealogical_Societies/SOG-UK .html Anyone wishing to monitor the list could easily do so by subscribing to the list's RSS feed. However, I very much doubt that any of the family history magazines would go to quite so much trouble!
