With respect to the large quantity of junk mail that has ben coming
across on the TEXCONS listserv...
Maybe this is the time to revisit the idea of moderating the list? I
participate in several that are so --most notably the H-net (History net) lists
www.h-net.msu.edu -- and haven't found
that it stifles free speech or any of the other traditional objections bounced
around the TEXCONS list. The basis of the system seems to be that there
are 2-3 editors who receive all the emails but only one is responsible --on a
rotation --for ensuring that they are posted to the whole list.
