Up until yesterday I have been moderating all messages by first time  
posters. It hasn’t been too bad, about one post a day. But it was  
something I had to attend to and it meant the occasional delay before  
people could see their first post. To free me of the daily necessity I  
have now turned this moderation off. This means posts will appear  
right away, which is good, but it also means we may start to see some  
spam on the list from time to time too. Google G. is pretty good  
at catching spam, though obviously not perfect. If anyone wants to  
take over new post moderation, and thus prevent any possibility of  
spam, let me know. Otherwise I hope others are ok with a little  
unwanted noise. Of course, if it gets real bad I will turn moderation  
back on, but I help manage a number of other lists and it’s not been a  
major issue.

Yours,  
Trans
