To Museum-L subscribers: I will be experimenting off and on for the next week with Moderating the list. We have several volunteers who will be helping with this project. With the number of subscribers and the daily traffic, a moderated list will cut out subscribe and unsubscribe messages that are posted to the list. Another consideration is the increasing number of spams, and the increasing sophistication of the those who post off-topic commercial advertising to a professional list. I hope to make the moderating process as transparent as possible, so the original sender will always be on the mail header. This will help on personal followups. --john chadwick [log in to unmask]
