I guess I missed most of the fireworks which is just as well. I took a
quick look at the Statalist archives & saw that Jann has been contributing
from at least as far back as 2004 & Wada back to 2005 or earlier.
Presumably there was a period when one, probably both, were strong
contributors to Statalist. I don't see how a one-day screening at
subscription time can possibly weed out future trouble-makers. Tony's
suggestion strikes me as more efficient & efficacious.

I'm not sure the screening will work - someone can log in and later become
a pain in the neck. The solution is to give them one or two warnings
about inappropriate mail and then BOOM!

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...
Keep on listing!
