Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Approve only is a real pain, leads to more hassles than it's worth from my 
past Yahoogroups experiences.  We only get a couple of spams a week if 
that, that's not too bad now is it? 

Also, whoever keeps passing on the spam to moderators attention, it's 
really not neccesary.  I appreciate it, but there's nothing I can do 
except remove the addy from our list, and I do that anyway when I see 
these types of emails.  As most of these are group mailings that hit 
multiple lists at once, it's out of our hands to control.

When I complained about group spam a couple weeks ago, I got this 
from the group owner.

In other yahoogroups I'm in that DO have the "approve only" option 
set to on, I have seen NO problems.

So I wonder what the other group members think about this.  I vote 
for going "approve only."  Anybody else?


(And have you noticed how EVERY SINGLE GROUP SPAM is for websites 
based on MCI?)
