I was discussing this with Brian earlier today. The same engine could parse
the message for messages from first time posts with certain key phrases
like PPP (grin) or any of the other asked a million times questions, auto
respond with a pointer to the faq and relevant docs for whatever keyed the
response. A reply to this message could be let through to the list...

just a thought. 

Appropriate for a newsgroup too. Normally I hate moderation but moderation
to enforce guidelines as opposed to moderation for opinion/content does not
equate to censorship IMO.

regards,
Ian
