TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

|} Hello to all.
|}
|} I don't know about the rest of you, but I am getting awfully tired of
|} seeing commercial email on this list. I'm also getting tired of seeing
|} mailer daemons, flame wars, and the odd posting that someone really
|} meant to send to just one person but mistakenly sent to the list.
|}
|} A possible solution: I'd like to propose that we think about having
|} the list moderated. Failing that, it may be possible to alter the list
|} code to exclude some of the more common problem messages (like mailer
|} daemons).
|}
|} What do you all think?
Pardon, Gail, I don't mean to sound snide, though you may think it so.
Are you volunteering to moderate this group, that is, read every single
post before passing it on to the rest of us, while at the same time
maintaining the psuedo-realtime discussions we have here?
Are you volunteering to write a filter script? Is there something
wrong with your delete key?
