3) Cypherpunks who wish to read all posts to the list may do so by taking advantage of either of two optional lists. The first (cypherpunk-flames@toad.com), will consist solely of messages expurgated from the main Cypherpunks list. (Those who subscribe to "flames" will be able to easily monitor my moderating decisions.) The second (cypherpunks-unedited@toad.com), will contain all posts sent to Cypherpunks. It will be the equivalent of the current open, unmoderated list. It will appeal to those who don't want list moderation.
To reduce the load on toad.com, I think it would be better to have just "cypherpunks" and "cypherpunks-unedited". Messages approved for the moderated list would be tagged with an "Approved:" header and sent to both lists. Rejected messages would still go to the unedited list, but would not have an "Approved:" header (this would, of course, require that the moderation software rename or delete "Approved:" headers). The only problem with this is that the lag time for distribution of the unedited list might increase.
6) Because every message submitted to Cypherpunk will be posted to two of the three sister lists, I don't intend to lose much sleep over whether or not this or that moderating decision was perfect. I will do the best job I can, within the constraints listed here. If I err, it isn't fatal. Everyone who wants one will have two Cypherpunk venues for their posts. Sounds fair enough to me. What do you think?
I think it's a good idea. As long as an unedited version continues to be available, it shouldn't effect people who want unfiltered list traffic.
