OK, I've heard the call for an advanced list and I I'll see what I can do
over the next 2 days. Why 2 days? Because I'm taking down post.office and
putting up the iMS listserver (which I'm writing from scratch now). Once its
up, I'll set up a CF mailing list that's moderated only, but of a special
type. Anyone can read from the list. Only a few people can post. Posters are
set by recommendation from a current poster. If a post is off topic, the
privilege is removed. Any message can be posted to the list by anyone but it
will go into a queue (unless posted by a moderator). Any moderator can
review the queue and say which posts should go to the list. After a post is
answered, it MUST be placed into a FAQ so that the question will not be
posted again. A switch will be placed into the moderator review section to
allow a moderator to return a post with a message of "look in the FAQ".
How does this sound? Would you (the community) like any changes? I know it
sounds strict, but it allows us to have a question/answer only list that
stays on topic.
Now, as for the CFDJ list, my gripes against them and especially their
marketing can go on for an hour and are definitely off topic.
