and there are some, despite the side pitching to leave it open, that don't
think the reasons to leave it open are compelling enough.

filters are reactionary meaning they can't be put in place until the damage
is already done.

if we want to actually keep this stuff from happening (even once in a while
is too much) then we need to not allow posting from non-subbed addresses.

that doesn't mean they should be.

i'm for changing that to keep the crap off the lists.

having to post from your subbed address isn't that big a deal.  most lists
out there are set up that way.  i think most users have come to expect it.
