cctalk and cctech List subscriptions

(And I'm resisting the urge to say anything about top-posting ;-) I'm just curious what the moderator process is for subscriptions (it's been a while - probably a good ten years since I re-joined the list, having gone on hiatus for a few years prior to that) - therefore I'm not sure what, if anything, is done to filter out spam subscriptions; maybe blanket approval of anything pending makes more sense (but perhaps there's some reason that the backlog can't be processed via script) I suppose some people join the list just to ask a question or two and then depart - and I know some have joined and been overwhelmed by the level of traffic, so have left again. But my guess is that the majority join because of a continued interest in vintage computers, so it doesn't really matter if their subscription is processed late - they'll still be interested in joining. cheers Jules
