st: New rules

[Marcello Pagano <pagano@hsph.harvard.edu>]

Dear Listers,

My apologies for allowing the tenor of the list to degrade.  We have now 
made a change to see if we can stop this from happening again.  For 
those currently on the list the change will not affect you other than 
you will possibly experience an improved tenor.  New subscribers will 
have to go through a screening process that will add time, hopefully 
less than a day, before they can subscribe. The screening process is 
designed to keep some, hopefully very few, people out.

Thank you all for your patience while we cleared this mess up. Let us 
hope things revert to normal where the worst we should expect is a 
scolding from Nick.

Keep on listing!

m.p.
