The solution is simple. We're not moderating anything. We're just making
the list writeable by subscribers only. If non-subscribers try to post we
can bounce them back a message telling them how to properly post a
message.
Even better, maybe we can provide a web form to submit messages to the
list? We can redirect them to that instead, then it'll be easy for them
to post that they found the first Altair that got "lost" in transit to
Popular Electronics that will be given to the first person who replies and
says they'll pay for shipping.
We can put this up on the classiccmp website with a big sign that says
"POST MESSAGES TO THE CLASSICCMP LIST HERE".
I'll volunteer the programming for this even.
