I would publicy re-state the purpose of the group to your subscribers,
indicating that if people are unwilling to keep on track and post only
relevant material, their privileges will be revoked, and if they persist,
the list will be closed down. It's *your* list, not theirs. Also, make it
very clear that any nonsensical arguments about "First Amendment Rights"
giving people a carte blanche to post whatever they like are totally bogus
within the context of your list. If they don't like it - tough.
