Hi,

the wiki is obviously wrong here. I see 2 options:

1) Correcting the wiki.

2) Finding people that are willing to handle the moderator requests.


> 1) Make the batman list open for none subscribers to post to.

That will bring a lot of SPAM to our list. Last time I checked we got 25.00=
0=20
SPAM mails in less than 3 days. Moderator requests could be the right=20
compromise if somebody deals with the requests.

We always can create more mailing lists but I don't have the feeling we hav=
e=20
that much traffic to justify another mailing list. Or what do you think ?

Yeah, maybe you are right.
