I think Jeff's proposal was pretty reasonable. I do
the same thing on a couple of my Yahoo groups as Yahoo
groups have become the targets of spammers.

I wait for the first post - if it is scuba related, it
is approved and the moderation is lifted. If it is
spam, it is deleted and the poster is banned.

But we haven't had much problem here, so I figure we
can let it ride. After all, some of the more
interesting posts on techdiver were the fakes!!

Cheers,
David H.
