In response to the recent spamming attacks, I've changed the submission
options on WebCat-L and SLRLN-L from public to private. That means that
only registered subscribers can post to these lists. That won't eliminate
off-topic posts, but it should cut down substantially on the hard-core stuff.
There's an unfortunate side-effect of this. Some libraries have set up
local redistribution facilities, so that they are represented by only one
group subscription. Individuals accessing the lists this way will not be
able to post unless they enter individual subscriptions first. Right
now, traffic being as light as it is, if someone wants to sidestep this
requirement by sending submissions to me, I will forward them, but I
can't make that an open-ended commitment.
