    Exactly.  Except for weird lists like words-l, of which I'm a co-owner, I
can't imagine running a list these days without semimoderation as described
above.  When I get the same subject line of spam for twelve lists, I just
bulk delete without even checking ....  though may look at one to know who
to serve off.....in case they ever reuse that phone address.  but the
forwarding of other things to the list is quick and easy....as is the
ok cookie for the filtered usenet gateway.
