Hi Mollie,
As a matter of fact, one such message did just come through on the Dickson List:

however, I think most of us can tell which is spam and which is not. I think it would be a tremendous amount of work for you to monitor each msg. that comes through and that it doesn't happen often enough for you to be tied down to such a task.

I suggest that as each of us runs across such msgs. that we warn others on the list so no one gets "taken in" by it and let it go at that. This sort of stuff apparently can't be stopped and could be a full time job for the list administrators.

Just my 2ยข worth.

Subject: List Admin Question


I am asking everyones opinion on something. There was a spam type entry that was posted to our querey board and there fore it came across to the mailing list as the board is gatewayed to the list. There has been some problem on other boards like this and the only way to prevent it from happening again is to moderate the board. That means I have to approve every message before it comes thru.. Now I will not be moderating the mailing list, only the board postings.
Now I don't know if everyone knows my work schedule but I work 12 hour shifts , week one I work 3 days and week 2 I work 4 days .. I also work the 7p to 7a shift.. So If I moderate , I will not do while I am working, only while I am on my days off.
I am asking the list which they prefer?????
Mollie'
