If Donald would like some help with list maintenance then I'm sure there are several people here that would be happy to help.
Good idea.... clamping down on people blatently abusing the list (as opposed to those that just wander a bit off topic from ocassionally) harder and faster is the answer, not trying to make it difficult for people to join. An extra person or two to help out with list maintainance may do that....
Despite soundling like an AOL newbie, I want to say <ME TOO> on this..
this list, in terms of subscribee's is pretty damn big.
When it comes to extra moderators I would probably nominate:
* Simon Lyall, who's ongoing moderation and maintenance of nz.* hasn't
gone unnoticed.
* David Zanetti, if he is still alive/subscribed to the list, as he has
moderation experience with nz.politics.announce.
Actually, that's it. I just went through my old archives way back to
1999 and when you sort by sender and fold threads you can see who tends
to get into a little bit of religious fervour (some of those old SRS &
buffoon threads are doozies).
No, I am not a big fan of usenet, but if you can deal with the crap pile
that is usenet, then nznog should be a walk in the park :)
