Hi folks, your friendly temporary list-admin here.

chiming in from my vacation (i'm currently in thorsh"fn, north
iceland wih a friend and she lets me use her machine :)
the only reason lad has been open was to facilitate cross-posting from
alsa-* and kernel lists. since by now pretty much everybody with an
interest in lad affairs is on the list, my vote is to close the list.
paul, thanks for keeping the lists while i'm away !
best,

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.
