Please - what one minute here! I hold the freedom of speech very close to my heart for specific reasons I won't go into. What I wrote above in no way indicates that I want such a freedom restricted or otherwise removed. What I did write above is an indication of my insight into the problem: 1) Moderating a list restricts the flow of information (thus in some way can be viewed as a restriction of speech ... see above). 2) Limiting the mailing list interaction via mail addresses limits the flow of information (thus in some way can be viewed as a restriction of speech ... see above). 3) Implementing a mailing list wide spam filter can remove potentially beneficial e-mails (thus in some way can be viewed as a restriction of speech ... see above Besides I know it will never happen unless we take the lists off of sourceforge and host them else where ... or so the little birds tell me). Stating that ... too much energy has already been wasted ... on "spinning wheels". -- //========================================================\\ || D.
