What about combining the two? - Just direct the public posts to a directory vetted by a volunteer, who then sends on to the private list. All non-relevant public posts are then trashed. If the same public posters are then posting often, they can be invited to join. (The vetting job could be rotated every few months, to be less onerous.) regards Doug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
