Comment:

 May be something, but maybe not...

 In recent weeks the number of abstract, abusive and off-topic threads on
 the tor-talk mailing list has unfortunately reached an unacceptable level.
 Due to the fact that an interested Tor users must first wade through a
 flood of hundreds of emails that have nothing to do with Tor, [we] decided
 to open a new, moderated list called tor-users. The new list is maintained
 in moderated mode - QBI, Gamambel, Gunner and Griffin have kindly agreed
 to take over the moderation part on this list. This means, messages of new
 first-time posters need to get approved by a moderator. Users which are
 repeatedly posting useful or helpful answers may get whitelisted.
 This is done, because we need a helpful and supportive environment in
 which each user can ask questions and get it's concerns cleared. Obviously
 there are other views or perspectives on a specific subject and therefore
 discussions are always welcome - but also only on the thematic / technical
 level without harming anyone.
