Many of the recently discussed anti-spam and list policing features will be
in the list once the new server is installed with the newer software. I am
supposed to pick up the hardware today, hope to have it up and running
within a week.

Got any examples to back that statement up?

I try to only post gentle reminders when it gets out of hand. I prefer to
give people an opportunity to police themselves. I tend to only step in when
it's pretty bad, and I think that's the way it should be. It sounds like you
would prefer to set up a list where you can be a "list-nazi", but I
personally think that kind of heavy-handedness turns off users worse than
the occasional outburst we have here.
