ADMIN: Spam will happen......

[Penny Linsenmayer]

Hi guys --

We've received a fair number of on-list and off-list comments about the spam
posts that hit the Movie list earlier today.  Please be assured that we
always act quickly to remove offending posts, ban the account that sent the
spam and take any other necessary action.

We certainly apologize for the inconvenience or offense it may have caused
some of you, but without placing some restrictions on new members that would
become a fairly heavy burden on the list moderators and administrators, we
may have to live with the occasional spam post.  The Moderators have
recently deliberated about the pros and cons of setting up list membership
in ways that might avoid spam and decided against those measures at this
time.  Again, we apologize for the spam that hit the list today, but we did
take quick action against it.   As always, you may email the Mods offlist if
you have some specific thoughts or suggestions.

Penny
