  If I understand the 'moderation' idea properly, it would apply only to
posts from non-subscribed sources.. for those properly subscribed, Things
would continue as they do now. So the entire message traffic would not
flow past the moderation point; only them Furrinerz a-tryin' to rustle 'em
up a few of our cows, dang varmints!

  Given that fairly low level of messages, it shouldn't be too onerous of
a task.

  I still volunteer to put my time where my bytes are... a suitable
message diversion scheme would have to be worked out, but I'm game to give
it a try.

  Just for interest, another list I am on is just now going through the
"Reply-To:Originator -or- Reply-To:List" debate... yawnnnn!

  Cheers

John
