You might give it a look.
Cool, I used to use b2evolution (after b2/cafelog) but was under the impression development had stopped and everybody was jumping to WordPress, which I currently use. WP has comment moderation--comments can be held based on number of links, occurrence of words, and ip addys. The idea of d/l'ing a shared list sounds like a good idea. I'm trying out pLog at work, which has regex and bayesian capability, but unfortunately no "forced" moderation. Thanks for the info, Todd
