I have heard of that, although I don't know anything about it. Obviously someone was doing some moderating at that time, but I still don't think that that makes the list, in general, a moderated list. It goes without saying that any list *can* be moderated; after all, *someone* has root access on the list servers! The question is whether the list rules and code of conduct specify moderation, and whether there is, in practice, any actual, sustained moderation. > Hal Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
