* * Yesterday we set an all-time record for messages on SCREEN-L. So many * were posted that we exceeded our daily limit of 50 and I had to unlock * the list manually before any more were sent. * * This brings up a question I've been considering for some time: * * Should SCREEN-L be moderated? I think a large portion of the overload is due to the fact that most people's servers send replies to SCREEN as opposed to the sender. Thus, a reply that might best go to the sender only has tended to get sent to the whole list. In my system, if you type h, you get a full header with the sender's address. Keeping replies that are straddling the line of possible public interest from going to SCREEn might reduce the flow. I would like to avoid moderation if at all possible. What often ain't germane is often still interesting. -- Mark Bunster |I'm a Christian, and my ears are not Survey Research Lab--VCU |garbage cans.
