It's good to see so many old faces here ... keeping the faith and hoping that Wrox will remain the same as it used to. I thought as an old Wrox employee to say hi to every one... and in particular to you Hal... remember ... Wrox Conferences rule!

Jan,
as I have said before, and I will say forever more- the best two confrences I *EVER* attended were Wrox DC and Wrox LasVegas.
I so vividly remember DC- there was so much talk of mailing lists and P2P. I was always so proud of the ideas we came up with that evening we all talked... and so thrilled it was so successful and popular with the community. I guess that's why I am so vocal about the changes Wiley is putting in place- I see myself as part of that original family that came up with P2P, even if I wasn't a WROX employee.

Ultimately guys the issue here is simple... Wiley does not have or want to put in place the resources that are necessary to moderate a mailing list. That's how we used to filter potential spam. Also, Lyris would not allow robotic harvesting as we had a script that would discontinue the session if we saw irregular usage.

I was unaware that there was active moderation on the P2P lists. Messages always seemed to go through so fast, I never knew it. There must have been quite a few resources dedicated to that.
In Wileys case, I bet they could find a moderation team that would be happy to volunteer some services for some kind of recognition and the email filtering on a web page is easy enough to implement.
Jan, good to see you here! Are you working yet?
