What is your alternative proposal for cleaning up the list and ensuring its continued existence?
If you have a way to rid of all the e-turds being sent to this list without moderation, I'm all ears. However, at the current rate, in a couple of months "moderator(s)" wouldn't be an accurate description of those with the responsibility--it would be more like "zookeeper(s)."
Setup mail filters if you feel the need. I think it's important this list stay open - what lofty personage would be the moderator? Honestly, it's an anarchist list for christ sake, for technically minded people - to configure client side filters is trivial. Moderation is really a horrible fit for this list (and I hate the nazi bullshit as much as anyone) -- John
