I recommend either self-moderation, or full-moderation. There is NOTHING WORSE than an official list being hijacked by an owner (customer) infected PC. I would be verrry peeved if I were an association owner (or listowner) and that occurred.

Depending, you may actually need two lists. /Pete Weiss list-owner condo association "presidente"
