The idea was that the 315 subscribers to this mailing list are the only people in the world with the slightest motivation to delete spam from the wiki and, since its not a terribly thriving, active wiki, even we members of the cgiapp community don't visit it all that much. So my hope was that by having these messages come to the list would remind people that the Wiki exists, "ping" them that people contribute to it, and maybe spark enough curiosity that someone checks to see what was edited, and in the process, is able to find and fix spam. It's my last attempt to save the Wiki. If it continues to be used more by spammers than the community, then it is not really worth the time and trouble involved in continuing to operate it. If, as I hope, these messages help spur the community to step up and contribute and help maintain and police the thing, then we'll be able to continue to have a Wiki for the foreseeable future! > It's not a big deal.

Of course if no one want to see these messages I'll turn them off. I just don't look forward to cleaning out hundreds of spams again, and don't know who will help prevent that, if not this community. -dave ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
