&gt; While this is true, any list on a popular topic (like muds) that can
&gt; attract people like the "Midgaard is kewl" types is going to have LOTS of
&gt; white noise if left totally open.  I just cringe thinking about it because
&gt; I can quite clearly see stuff like the Mud on Win95 and how to do
&gt; (something trivial if you have a clue) to ROM posts by people.  I even bet
&gt; we'd get the coder wanted crap too  :P
&gt; 
&gt; Some kind of selection criteria is needed for who is allowed to post
&gt; unless you want a ton of meaningless stuff like the stuff we ignore in
&gt; r.g.m.a.

Yes, but it need not be before-the-fact selection.  On a closed mailing
list, it's easy to throw out those who won't abide by the stated policy.
(Which I think is fairly clearly stated right now in the invitation, and
could be included in the initial message to new subscribers if we go
"open".)
