I'm not Steve either but I did meet him (and three other members of PNLTC -
Dwayne, Kim, Dave) last night here in Portland. Lots of great conversation,
including the subject of the proposed list.

Pairlist (which is is based on MailMain) has a number of controls over the
ability to post to the list. The list that I have created only allows
members to post to the list. Any post my a non-list member gets held and
sent to the list admin for approval. The list admin can either reject it,
approve it, or defer it (although I am not sure what value derferal is).

Based on the conversation we had last night, I completely support what Steve
is trying to do. I will let Steve comment (or not, his decision) on the
overall objectives of the list but I do believe it is necessary and in the
long run, will benefit the vast majority of us (no matter what you do
someone will always be unhappy).
