If given list management access, I'd eject a few notable off-topic members (juan.g71@gmail.com, afalex169@gmail.com, cecilia.tanaka@gmail.com, tor_talk@arcor.de) some recent off-topic members (dungeonmaster@sigaint.org, skywalker543@sigaint.org, thomas.hluchnik@netcologne.de), and off-topic announcement-only members (ja.talk@yandex.com, jacobappelbaum.net@yandex.com).
When I was still an admin on the 2600 FB group, we took a similar approach and were able to move from the list being a total trashfire to being a decent discussion board. But I have no problem using the banhammer.
Sounds good. Jens, any objection to giving Griffin tor-talk@ list admin access?
