I have an administrative issue that I need the list's input on. A new list member joined recently, using the name "John Doe" on an msn.com account. This person's messages are originating in the Netherlands.
As those who have been on the list for a while know, these facts raise a concern that "John Doe" may in fact be a former list member who has been banned.
Analyzing the language of John Doe's postings (an area in which I have a fair bit of expertise), I see a disturbing similarity to that of the aforementioned banned member. As just one example, John Doe used the phrase "list admins" in a recent message, a phrase that in the past was used almost exclusively on the list by the aforementioned banned member.
What's a list admin to do? For now, John Doe remains on moderation, which is automatic for new list members.
I should add that Julia is probably not available for a few days.
