The cypherpunks moderator robot should check PGP signatures for the
"preapproved posters" - it is just too easy to forge email. And the human
moderator should be willing to put any regular posters onto the list of
"preapproved posters". Any preapproved who mutated into a flamer would be
removed from the list. Newbies would have to be around for a bit to get
on.
Should work well enough.
