Re: [sysadmins] List moderation - need a break!

I'm kinda curious as to which lists this 'unstustainable' is on ... I just 
checked pgsql-general ... out of 10 messages that are in the queue right 
now:

7 are subscribe / set requests
1 is spam from Jun 11th
2 are legit postings from Jun 11th (which I've just approved)

pgsql-admin: 25 messages in queue

4 subscribe / set
20 spam
1 non-spam ... approved from the 10th

Okay, so that one has a huge noise:signal ratio
