How about some sort of soft moderation that forwards all posts, but sets the reply-to on off-topic posts to something other than the list itself? That way it doesn't really function as censorship, but does act to squelch the thoughtless and accidental flame wars and run-on threads that decrease the SNR.
It also makes the replier think about what they are replying to and whether it's on-topic. Or you could also subscribe to Secunia. jburnes > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan A.
