Since the major problem seems to be backscatter, we can pretty easily more rules to handle most of it. I personally don't subscribe to debian-...@l.d.o, so I haven't been paying attention to it or its issues, but rules to address the backscatter problem are definetly accepted. [And if no one bothers to do so, I'll try to take a look at the previous month's collection of messages and try to put rules in place to fix the majority of the problem.] That said, if the subscribers to debian-...@l.d.o actually want to make it moderated and enough active people are willing to moderate, I don't have a problem with it becoming moderated. [I just know that keeping moderated lists moderated requires a fair bit of effort.] Don Armstrong -- We cast this message into the cosmos.
