Mailman makes it easy (btdt).
As former Chair of the MLC, let me point out that getting MLC members to actually deal with moderating people who are actively being a pain in the ass is highly difficult, let alone preemptive moderation that requires more or less constant attention. This is not a reflection on the current make-up of the MLC, it is just human nature to not take action until the pain is actually *bad*, particularly in volunteer organizations where stuff is mostly-working-OK. I'll also join others in observing that we don't see any evidence of preemptive moderation of those whom many of us fervently wish would receive same. -r _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
