This chain of email regarding SPAM originated with the topic to reduce the SPAM in this group email... The only way to moderate a group email list is to formalize the method of how it is delivered. If interested people are asked to join as a member, they can be turned off if proved to be malicious. Otherwise, anyone can keep sending emails with bad intent in any email name from yahoo, msn, etc. If they are forced to "sign-up" each time, they will eventually go pick on another email group. In addition, if enough interest is responding, I can post a Bulletin Board for topics, and people can choose to go there instead of through group email listings. I otherwise agree that non-members need to become members to post.

True, but considering how easy it is to become a member, my suggestion is that posting to the list is made available for members only.
