One way to *completely waste your time* is to use their spam-filtering mechanism. I am absolutely not the only group member who flags every single spam email here. Effect? None. > * The alternative to this is to start moderating the list, With respect, no. There are a large number of other list hosting options. Google Groups lets anybody/anybot with a Google account join with no attempt at (eg) captchas, and *no email confirmation whatsoever*. If you have a working account and a cURL script, Google Groups will happily stand idly by while you crawl your way through ten thousand lists and spam the crap out of everybody on them. It's OK to say "we don't think this is important enough to warrant changing away from Google Groups". But neither one of these statements really backs up the position. I'd have more sympathy if the answer was "yes, it sucks, but we're not moving because we think the inconvenience of moving outweighs the inconvenience of staying". Which also has the advantage of being the truth :) jh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
