Chris;
	I told this to David but he wishes to try it open and see if anything
explodes/blow up/etc... The way David explained to me is that if Spam is
still getting through it shouldn't and he's going to try and stop it. My
thing was that the MOTD says to send mail to the editors list about the new
changes to the Homepage, problem is anything that anyone sends bounces to
me. But this is the list that that info should go to. Thoughts David?
	Mike

Hi David!

You & Michael might really wish to reconsider this. As the former
list-owner of editors I can tell you that the restrict-post option
intercepted an *enormous* amount of spam directed at this list, often
several (3-6) per day. It would be a collosal pain-in-the-#$% if these
were redistributed on a daily basis to all the subscribers of editors,
especially given that the legitimate traffic on this list is usually much
less than this.

Cheers,

Chris
