DML reject list



Mike S & everyone else,

How about using this "rejected list" to post only "rejections" and not
"accidents" like you mentioned below. This way the accidents stay private and all
can see what is actually rejected because of content, off topic, spam etc.

In the mean time the rest of us can practice the <snip> technique for posting and
the "copy & paste" method for replying personally instead of just hitting "reply"
and giving the moderator more work ;-)

On a side note . . . one of my post was edited for using the word "hilljacks". I
didn't mind the change, but I wished there was mention in the post that [ [ the
inserted text that replaced 'hilljacks' ] ] was changed by the mod of the week
and did not come from my typing fingers.

Subject: Quitting and DML reject list

<snip>
Now several people have expressed interest in a DML Reject List.
<snip>
However, I must caution that thereject list could have serious unintended
consequences. It would be 
unnecessarily embarrassing and probably reduce participation in the DML.
<snip>
As I said in that earlier message, the vast majority of the posts which I reject
were written as private e-mails, but accidentally sent to the DML. Obviously
these could bevery embarrassing! Many others are email errors by the sender,
such as accidentally posting a message with no new content but a 10 page quote
(an entire digest edition). These things happen all the time. If these flubs
were made public a lot of subscribers would be embarrassed, and no one would
really benefit.
