We do what we can, but short of manually approving each and every
posting that's about the extent of it.  As Joe and I are both here at
HPWorld, I check e-mail maybe 2-3 times a day and as a consequence
have 407 unread emails as of now, I can't speak for Joe, but it's all
I can do often enough to just process my own mail (and related
administrative stuff that gets redirected to me) let alone review the
numerous postings to the list.

So yes, there are a few occasional rogues.  Exercise your delete key :-)
