Indeed, this list does need moderation. Perhaps someone can force a Sun
employee to take on this task, or
else do it themselves. If we get a decent listserver set up here, perhaps
I'll do it.
In any case, if the unsubscribe function on the listserver is broken a
temporary fix for anyone who wants
to stem the massive flow of mail is to make a kill file (which I've done
under Elm, and assume can be done under Pine as well). If you are using
Eudora like I am, you can simply make a filtering rule that deletes all
messages coming from this list.
With the massive amount of crap coming through here, it is almost too much
work, but you can filter out a lot of the real garbage by applying such
rules as if SUBJECT (contains) Repeated messages (then) delete.
(or as this thread inevitably goes awry if SUBJECT (contains) request to
sign off (then) delete.)
If someone does start a moderated java tech list please post an
announcement to this list, maybe it won't
get lost in the spew.
