This is an acceptable construct for newsgroups since you can readily distingish
between the two groups but it would be a nightmare for any listmember that
want's to receive both lists. A double stream of Classic-stuff, partly pepperd
with
even more OT-dribble.
Just a little bit of educational OT-stuff makes life enjoyable. It's the
"This is my conviction, and you've got to eat it" rants that I hate.
It seems that for too many nerdy nerds the classic-comp list is the only
emotional outlet they have.

Subject: Re: NOTICE FROM THE LIST HOST (re: recent political commentary)
Can the list software do this:
Maintain two lists of subscribed people: A moderated list and an unmoderated
list.
Normally people are on the unmoderated list of
subscribers.
When someone posts offtopic enough to warrant it, they get moved to the
moderated list of subscribers, and then (and only then) their posts have to be
OKed to make it to the list.
This allows the majority here to post without needing someone to continually
OK messages.
Does that make any sense at all or am I being an idiot again?
