[linux-audio-dev] Should the list be members-only?

[Cornell III, Howard M]

What?????  And give up the chance to make 33% commission helping some
foreigner move an account their father/uncle/husband/sister left
unavailable to them????

Sure.

Hi folks, your friendly temporary list-admin here.
(Joern's on vacation and I'm filling in.)

We seem to be getting quite a lot of spam lately.
Currently the list is "open" - non-members can post.

I'd like to take an informal poll:

  Should the LAD list remain totally open, or should
  non-member postings require moderator approval?

I should point out that the LAU list requires approval
for non-member postings, and it seems to be no problem
in my very-limited experience managing the lists:
I check the pending-approval queue at least once a day, find 
nothing but spam, and throw it away. Approving a legit non-member 
posting would be trivially easy.
