I am sure that's possible. If I'm not subscribed to both, it's only to avoid duplicates. Wayne, could you please do moderatorial magic for those who need it, if you change anything ? > I have > also wanted to keep the mailing lists open since I have it listed as the > contact address in the latest trn (having people mail the list, even if > they're not subscribed, means that more folks can potentially help with > an answer). Yes, I understand that. If it's too much to ask for you to moderate the clari.net sublists, I will take on the task for the time being, for the greater net.good. Though obviously that won't decrease my spamcount, at least there will be a point to it :) > It's also a hassle for people to post from alternate email > addresses to the list, and for people who want to use an email alias > that "bursts" into multiple people on a local machine. I don't know what Sourceforge use, but this doesn't seem to be a problem for most list software :) > So, if the spam persists, we may need to move to a member-posting-only > list, but I hope to avoid it for now. Let me know if you disagree. If we can cut it down, I'd be happy. I have some ideas for trn but I don't want to propose anything I wouldn't know how to do, even if my time generally prevents actually doing it !
