[Siged-l] Moderator Needed

[Richard Hill]

We need a new moderator for SIGED-L.  Can be one or several people.  If
interested, see below and contact <rhill at asis.org> off list.

After several years, Jody needs to devote full time to her grad work so she
is reluctantly retiring as owner/moderator.

Moderating isn't a really big deal.  All is done through a web interface.
Messages like the one below come in as postings are received (from non
members of the list, or with attachments/styled text - "suspicious header").

As moderator, one can approve messages as they arrive OR wait for a daily
summary of what is pending -- sent around 4:00 pm EST.  With many lists I
ignore the postings of regular spam and try to clean out the lists daily --
unless there are subscriptions, which I try to handle immediately.

I am trying to get an effective filter above the lists (and above all staff
PCs) which will block a lot of the spam that comes to the lists and requires
discarding the messages, but that has not happened yet.
