Sounds fine, but one question...
Once this moderated, controlled, chartered list is created, will George then
be obliged to create another more open list?
I want to be on George's list. I don't mind the occasional spam that slips
through the filters, or even the off-topic (to me at the time) message,
which I can easily ignore and which I have set to auto-delete after a few
days anyway. What is most distracting to me is the long threads of
complaints that follow said message. I am after info.

Before we go to the heavy solution of full moderation, I reiterate my
call for:
* a real list charter, so we know what is on topic and what is not
* a closed list, i.e. so that only those who are subscribed to the
list can post, and non-subscriber posts get sent to a moderator
for approval
These basic lit management techniques work VERY well, and are very
lightweight to administer. There are 500 people on the Linux Security
Module mailing list, it gets no spam at all, and I spend approx. 5
minutes a day administering it.
