Thanks for your comments.  I am not planning (at this point anyway) on
doing anything drastic to AVIATION, but here is what is going through
my mind about it.

As Lars guessed, AVIATION is in fact not appropriate for the ARPAnet and
should probably not be allowed to exist.  We allow it to exist on the
theory that it will not attract much attention.  I only skim through the
material that comes on the list, and so haven't noticed it misbehaving
myself.  It was the recent rash of $$ signs flying by that made me
notice it and become nervous.

Should the list come to the attention of the Government authorities
managing the ARPAnet, they would likely find it a harmless but
inappropriate use and demand that it be removed.  
But if they were to see lots of dollar signs going by, they might
perceive it as commercial use of the network -- not harmless.  
This would cause my site alot of trouble.

AVIATION is not a huge list, so there is a good chance it can go by
completely unnoticed. It's something to keep in mind though.
