I currently have a problem that I have been trying to remedy, unfortunatly
I didn't quite know how to go about it but some people have been forwarding
me some information and hopefully some of their suggestions will help.

I am the listowner of autism@maelstrom.stjohns.edu which is the newsgroup
bit.listserv.autism  Up until last December the list was an open list.  Being
open it got subjected to much flaming and battles.  In December I created 
rules and changed it to a private list.  Since then I have banned one 
subscriber, but while the newsgroup is still public it lets this individual
continue what he was banned for on the newsgroup.  

I wish for the newsgroup bit.listserv.autism to be changed to a read-only
newsgroup or a private posting newsgroup, however it is you have to set it
to.  Please contact me if you have any questions or if there is anything
else you need to know.  This has been very frustrating to me and the Panel
that we have setup to handle this list, as well as frustrating to other
subscribers who can only read through newsgroups and still have to put
up with the posting of this one poster.

Note: I have tried several methods of trying to contact someone at
american.edu to try to resolve this.  I have not had any response from
anyone I have contacted.   I plan on having this resolved one way or another.
While I don't like the idea of the possibility of interrupting the list to
a good number of my subscribers my next tactic is to stop the newsfeed and
then attempt to open it under a different name and feed it through a different
source if there is one.  Just today someone finally pointed me to this newsgroup,
so I am hoping that I will get a resolution to this and will be able to not
have to change the way it is fed.  Any help will be much appreciated.
Please feel free to email me.


Thanks,
Ray Kopp
