Livingston (the Portmaster people) changed their mailing list rules to stop spam -- you cannot post from any email address which is not subscribed to the list. Livingston made exceptions and set up some type of alias list for those in special situations. I don't know how, but they are able to do it. That's much easier to administer than getting volunteers who read all the mail. Then I would worry about censorship. What if the moderator doesn't like my opinions or style of expression, or if I insult one of his buddies? I may not always be popular. John
