Agreed.  Or maybe the union of read and post?  (I can imagine a rare case
where post isn't a subset of read, for example as a bug-report forum in 
which users can post but not see the resulting internal discussion.  It 
might be nice to have the group show up in the list in that case.)

And on further thought, I think "list" might be a more intuitive name?

(I'll probably code this up.)
