Hi Mike, Roger and Alan,
I entirely agree with what you say Mike.
Roger, I think the problem is the feeling that unappointed persons would 
have undue influence. I have been involved with other groups in the past 
where the whole set up is run by one or two unelected 'control freak' types 
and it's been a disaster. Whilst I agree that there have been undesirable 
goings on on here, from absurd religious content even, through insults to 
childish comments, I would be concerned if some self appointed person was 
able to decide who/what to block.
Alan, I am not even slightly convinced that spammers are getting our e-mail 
addresses from this reflector, in fact it's probably less so than other 
sites that send out mailings to multiple addressees - often with all the 
addresses open for all to see.
Vy 73,
Chris, G4AYT.
