I favour the second option (seriously, the one marked #3 <g>).
But continuing wide open as today would also be OK (#1).

Yes - and it will be a relief to have it well-handled, offline, without so
much of our reading time messed up with hearing people's responses to the
original spam!
 - ps - and I agree that Michele did a fine job with the Edmonton job agency
posting.

Disagree - we all start off as new. It would be particularly useful to send
'netiquette' suggestions out with the original (automated) subscription
response.

And publishing a reminder on a periodic basis (every one or two months)
would not be so bad. Particularly, if its marked as a 'reposting' when its
an unchanged message, then the more experienced netters can easily bypass it
and consign it to the bit bucket in the sky.
