What I would like to know is why the listowner wants full moderation but does not want to deal with postings from nonsubscribers. Full moderation, for an active list, is itself a chore to the extent that I have my doubts about postings from nonsubscribers being that much of an extra load, unless it is that the owner can't recall who is a subscriber and who not. Still, full moderation is to keep out whatever the editor doesn't want and I don't see the diff between unwanted postings from subscribers and unwanted postings from outside. I like to think I have a pretty active imagination but it sort of fails here. Clearly there is something I don't get. Douglas p.s. I can think of a combination of many keyword settings which would sorta do this but I don't think anyone would be happy with it.
