[Moderator's Note: 

No, I already tried  that; but there is still a way, something I
haven't yet seen - or possibly have no control over - that
allowed people not subscribed to post stuff I
consider advertisements which verge on spamming.

I have mentioned this to the PM.Org parent group (the
people that manage the server this group is hosted on)
and was told that I have to figure it out myself.

No big deal.  After looking at many things - I know how
to moderate the group.  We get very little traffic,
not enough to moderate.  But - I also have this deep
desire to kill the entire family of spammers
(even going back in time and killing them before
they are born.)

It is a deep set mental condition that I should
seek professional help for, I realize.  So, I asked
the group if they care about the possibility of
being spammed thru their participation in this group.

So far, only I seem to care :)

So, after thinking about it, sleeping on it;
if there are no 'majority' objections -
I will remove moderation.

Thx for your input!
