When I complained about group spam a couple weeks ago, I got this

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?)
