The only censorship (short of setting up moderation) available to
list owners of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to set a userID to be ignored, thus
disallowing propagation of posts from a userID. I've seen (too late) only
one instance of a person possibly deserving this. By the time I saw it,
the point was moot, the offender had unsubscribed. The only excuse I see
for setting a userID to be ignored would be repeated ad hominem arguments.
While we can remove subscribers, the only times I've unsubscribed
people have been because MTA's were apparently configured to irritate me
with nag notes from [EMAIL PROTECTED], and forwarding said nag notes to a
user failed to get the MTA fixed reasonably quickly. As far as I know, no
other userID's have been involuntarily unsubscribed. Has anybody done a
talk on "how to configure fetchmail so that Ed won't whine because
listproc is nagging him again"?
Currently eug-lug has 98 subscribed, mostly lurkers, which is
cool, although I remind posters that your audience is larger than the
response would suggest. (I remind lurkers that your questins will go
unanswered if unasked).
Is the volume of posts to eug-lug getting to be too much?
Can activists/cat-herders etc. attract enough contributors (and
subscribers) to be of use?
What event can we hold to turn out more than the couple of dozen
I've seen at clinics? What venue?
