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. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's GILDED THANATOS MYRKSKOG! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
