I bet you will :-) There are other ways of moderating the list. Instead of kicking people off the list completely, you just ban then from mailing to the list. (This is technically easier, since some people are reading from a mail->news gateway and their address won't appear as a member of the list.) Also, when people mail to the list for the first time, instead of letting their mail through, you should send back an introduction to the list and describe the type of article that should/should not be sent. In the introduction, you make it clear to people that the list is highly technical in nature and suggest better forums for the "how do I setup 'x' on my machine" questions. Peter Benie | ||||||||||||
