Several also volunteered to help moderate (I'll be contacting these folks in the next week). As you may recall, one suggestion was that only subscribers whose email addresses are recorded as subscribers be able to post (or for those not subscribed, postings be forwarded to a moderator). I e-mailed the BIOSCI administration about the feasibility of this proposal last week, but haven't had a response yet. In any case, I just e-mailed them again and indicated that we want to begin moderating this newsgroup as soon as possible. I'll post further information as it becomes available and I apologize for the delay, especially since the volume of junk mail seems to be increasing lately!
