Some folks are still replying to spam on list, but the noise figure has dropped significantly. Thank you! I would very much like to make this list subscriber-only. This will cut down dramatically on spam and the inevitable misdirected 'subscribe' postings. The downside is that folks will not be able to reply to the list if they receive it via a list redirector (IE if a corporate role account/list-alias has been used to subscribe). In this case, those folks would become read-only members (which may in some cases be OK). Other folks would need to subscribe to the list with their 'real' email address. Comments? Suggestions? (Keep it brief and focussed, folks!)
