Re: [ldapext] Majordomo results: Japanese girl VS playboy

["Ed Reed" <eer@OnCallDBA.COM>]

What we need is a turing machine...something like eliza, that can open
up a dialog with message submitters and bully them into saying
something
on-topic...

no, that's not the right way...

maybe she could engage them
in a constructive dialog that discerns whether they have anything
useful
to contribute...

no, that's too restrictive...

But surely she could respond better than majordomo did ;-)

Isn't it about time someone got some value out of all those natural
language
AI research grants???

Hey, Mark - could we spin up an engineering team to look at this???

I don't believe it is a moderated list, it is merely a different
address 
than the widely abused @netscape one.

I think the only way to reduce the spam significantly is to permit
posting 
only to subscribers, which implies approving subscribers, and having a
way 
to approve any on-topic posts by non-subscribers (per IETF rules).  Ie,
a 
human to do this work.  Any volunteers?
