You are absolutely correct, Mike. The most Yahoo allows us as list
moderators is to moderate EVERY post by a given member, or none at
all.

This is much on my mind of late, having spent most of the past week --
which could far more profitably been spent elsewise, sigh --
moderating the posts of just ONE very fractious and extremely
prolific new member of the Yahoo Group I admin. I'm happy to report,
however, that we're FINALLY voting on whether or not to just keep
moderating her or to expel her entirely. So far the vote, which will
conclude Tuesday, is running 100% for expulsion...so hopefully in
only a few days I'll be able to wash the whole rancid taste out of my
mouth and get back to my REAL work.

Heh. Until the next time.
