I've been meaning to ask this for a while...but why *don't* we just pull
the plug, at least for just a few days?
Unsubscribe everyone from all the lists, wait a bit, and then send a
message to all of the subscribers with full info on each of the lists
(cp, cp-unedited,cp-flames) and see what happens when they resubscribe.
I bet that most of the people who don't post and don't care one way or
the other wouldn't bother to resubscribe, so we'd have a higher ratio of
people who mind if the list is moderated vs. those who'd be happy either
way.

If you need to know how to set up a mail filter or defend against
emailbombs, send me a message with the words "get helpfile" (without the
" marks) in the SUBJECT: header, *NOT THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE!* I have
several useful FAQs and documents available.
