Restrict List Posting To Members Only?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Due to larger
number of spams lately, and other problems, I have been debating with myself
the idea of restricting posting to the JavaScript List to list members only.
This would stop some additional spams, but not all, and it may also turn away
some folk who may only have occasional questions to ask and don't want list
postings when they don't have a question (of course they can subscribe and
then go nomail until they have a question, but it does mean more
work).<BR><BR>I am leaning toward restricting posting to the list to list
members only, but before I go ahead and do that, I want to see how the list
membership feels about it.<BR><BR>Should posting to the list be restricted to
list members only? Yes or No?<BR><BR>Please send your "vote" to me
directly at "merchant@latech.edu," if you want to discuss the issue before you
vote, go ahead and discuss it on the list, but otherwise send your "yes" or
"no" votes directly to me please.<BR><BR>TTFN,<BR>David Merchant<BR><X-SIGSEP>
