I know we all love this list for historical reason, but this list is no longer managed.
That's not really true - it's just a rumor started by Oh Jay to hurt the list. If you look at the related website, you'll see that it's robomoderated and that the owner only becomes involved when a problem is brought to his attention. Closing the list to new members was an extreme measure forced by Oh Jay for his own purposes. It could happen to any list, and I really don't know what can be done about it. I do agree that new members should be admitted by the moderator, but how can he possible identify every new throwaway account used by someone who wants to destroy the list? -- /* Soleil */
