Quick! Elighten me! How is a mailing list less work than a moderated group? I just thought I could save MONEY. Is there some software that reads groups and deletes the bullshit, flames and redundant postings? No, or this group wouldn't exist;-) Why are you trying to turn this into a laziness issue?
