I second that opinion!
While I have found this list to be of great help to me in the past, I
find the frequent "naughtygirl.naughtyboy.cheerleader.celebrity.pics...."
a pain in the Aster.
Are the other Bio-Sci lists also frequented by these spams? I would
imagine that they are. Yes, a moderated list would filter out these
posts, but the problem lies in MODERATING it. Somebody would have to
volunteer to administrate the list and dump the non-plant-ed
material; that is if the Bio-Sci folks allow it.
I'm not sure what the anther is. I do agree that I would hate to see
this list senesce due to unwanted advertising.
Any ideas?
