Tom,

Sorry to be a doubting Thomas, Thomas, but in the "Re: >> WET TEEN (you know
the rest)" thread, you refered me to:
http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0103&L=lstsrv-l&D=0&P=12717
as authority for thie proposition that "Filtering by keyword is *NOT*
available with ListServ", but nowhere does it say it is not available nor
impossible.  The reply just says that it would be useless because 1. anyone
could work around it and 2. it otherwise would be too restrictive.

I think a simple inclusion rule would filter the vast majority of the
undesirable, without the unfortunate effect of it being totally closed. See
my arguments in the "Re: >> WET TEEN (you know the rest)" thread.

Now IF you are 100% certain that it is simply technically  IMPOSSIBLE to put
a simple inclusion rule in place, then I must vote to CLOSE as the spam (and
resulting discussion) is becoming intolereble, otherwise I strongly vote to
keep it OPEN.

Hopefully, I'm sure you'll all agree, this will be my last rant on putrid
luncheon meat.

JGS
