List Admins -

Can one of you powerful folks, please, fix the signup approvals and make it
a bit more difficult to signup and account that is "allowed" to post on
this list?

Generally, it's at least an email verification loop. But, maybe it's time
to induce an "age" as well? That said, I will concede that it unfairly
targets those folks who need legitimate help, for a current or new problem
that may have escaped regression checks, or general tool obscurity.

Regards,
Russell VT
