I'm looking for some help moderating the list. This not a big task and does not take much time. The reason I need help is that I'm not always available to deal with messages requiring moderation when I'm away. Then they can languish in the moderation queue for 24 hours or even days. That's not very welcoming to new members - the ones being moderated. The reason new members are moderated is to gives some assurance they are not spammers trying to join the list. After a few legitimate messages over a week or so, the new members are taken off moderate status (by me). This has proven to be the only effective way to keep spammers off the list. Since we started this scheme, the list has been completely free of spam. So to repeat - I'm looking for a couple of volunteers to help with moderation - specifically reviewing and approving messages from new members under moderation. I'm NOT looking for people to put out flame wars (we don't seem to have those), deal with banning members or any of the other less pleasant tasks. The task takes a couple of minutes a day (seriously) and it can be done with your email client or a web browser. If you're interested in helping out contact me off list at the email address above. If you've benefited from Roy's work and this list, then this is a small way of giving something back to the community. Tom Moore
