This was unusually quick.  S - thank you for posting the list address on
a blog non-obfuscated. :-(

Well, while this is lame, it was bound to happen eventually anyhow.


I've just enabled a simple spam filter for the list address (it will
drop HTML-only messages - and more).  I will also be turning on message
pre-moderation.  It's a pity that we have to do this so early.

What is message pre-moderation?  Can you expand on what that means?  Will
it let subscribers still post unmoderated?


Anyone would like to be a moderator (and receive the undetected spam)?


I can do this.  It's a horrible thankless job, but the more we have, the
better things will be.  Getting some folks scattered around the world would
be helpful.
