Call for a couple more nmap-dev moderators

Hi folks. To keep discussion fast and furious, the nmap-dev list is unmoderated and that works well. But for anti-spam protection, there are a few cases where messages do go through the moderation queue. The primary cases are o Messages from non-subscribers (allows new users to submit bug reports without having to subscribe) o Subscriber messages which Spamassassin judges as likely spam (occasionally Spamassassin is wrong and tags a legit message as spam) Every day there are maybe a dozen spam messages and a handful of legitimate ones diverted to the queue. I sift through them and approve the good ones, but sometimes messages are delayed a day or two because I'm away or behind on email. Having one or two more moderators would help because one of us would likely see each new message within a few hours. As a moderator, you will receive emails for new messages. I just ignore spam messages (they will time out of the queue in a week or so anyway). For good messages, you can put them through to the list by either visiting a web URL in the message or responding to the moderation email with the moderation password. If you'd like to volunteer, please let me know. I'll probably only appoint a copule people, as it is a waste of effort to have a big group evaluating the same messages.
