hasn't been able to moderate the group recently, and hasn't (or
can't) take steps to prevent the spam we're now seeing. My policy is
to moderate new subscribers, and ban anyone who sends obvious spam.

Or be members of both. :-]

Actually I've been banning anyone who posts spam as soon as I catch
it (as well as deleting said spam from the queue (though Jessica's
recent comeback to "sexyjessica" was too fun to let languish). I'm
not as active as I'd like to be because I currently have no Internet
access from home and have to do the work from a library.

I've been considering moderating new subscribers, though. It'd be an
improvement over moderating posts (with my sparse attendance).

(I've also been considering giving Grant co-ownership... maybe we
should just merge the two lists.)
