Hi Folks,

Several months ago I changed all of the LNS mailing lists (Affrus-talk,
SD-talk and JSOSA-talk) so that new members must be approved. This was done
to try and stop the spamming of these lists. However, I'm finding that
JahooGroups is not always sending me notification emails when someone wants
to subscribe to a list, and so people have to wait until I notice. I have
received some private expressions of frustration with the current system.

So I guess my question is this: should I go back to the old way and we will
live with the spam that arrived or should I keep things as they are?

Cheers
-Mark
