stop the insanity!!!
Sorry, but it's "been there done that". The list used to be unmoderated,
and the result was spamming. Nowadays you see the messages from
whitelisted users, and you see the messages which the moderators passed
from first-time posters, what you don't see is the spam; and as a
moderator, my estimate is that among first-time posters, about 50% are
spammers. "The insanity" would be the porn and "internet pharmacy" spew
you would get if the list returned to unmoderated status.
Best regards,
Tony.
P.S. I just blocked a post titled "U.K. and Arab teen girls lost
virginity in first sex". aleCodd, if you want a copy of the next one,
you can have one if you wish.
John, Raúl and I would rather answer posts than block spammers, but
someone has to do it, and when we're in bed sleeping, or in town
shopping, well, just wait until one of us comes back. Sooner or later we
will.
Best regards,
Tony.
