If someone can propose a *practical* scheme for moderation of this high-volume list the PSF might consider such a proposal, but there would need to be considerable evidence that the scheme would work without delaying traffic.
Since the spam that's getting through actually represents a tiny fraction of one percent of the spam that the list is bombarded with I personally feel that there would be very little positive return for a relatively large investment of effort, and that any volunteer time would be better spent making other contributions to the Python community. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 See PyCon Talks from Atlanta 2010 http://pycon.blip.tv/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
