Re: New Topic: Spam and moderators

Hi, Gregg!

If it's for me, then please copy you mail to me.  I cannot afford the 
luxury of reading all mailing lists I'm subscribed to.

This is not an issue.  I don't speak Chinese or Korean.  If I ever get
spam from Russia, I call them and explain politely that they are wrong.  
But I don't think it has any effect, so the number of languages spoken 
should not affect the choice of moderator.

I filter all spam from all mailing lists to a special folder and forward
all spam to spamcop.net.  This doesn't seem to be effective for the Asian
spam, but I occasionally get replies from American and European sysadmins.

Nobody has contacted me about the moderation of the list so far.

I hate discussing meta-issues on the list, because it adds even more
noice, so if anybody wants to reply and the issue is not of interest for
everybody, please omit the list address from the Cc: field.
