Belknap" Sender: Lojban list From: "Steven M. Belknap" Subject: Spams To: Veijo Vilva Content-Length: 963 Lines: 25 Graeme's right about it getting worse. I unsubscribed from several other lists because there were more spams than content! One solution would be to morph into a newsgroup format where junk is filtered out, but then someone will have to serve as editor, and turnaround will slow down. Another solution would be to make the list semi-closed, where someone has to get permission first to post, but anyone can subscribe. I don't really like that either, as it might inhibit posts from prospective citizens of lojbanistan. Perhaps new posts could be set aside, and posted only after review by an editor? We probably ought to do something. I don't want to hear from any more prospective Russian brides, atomic bomb plan salesmen, or sleazy estate lawyers. -Steven Steven M.
