Hello all,
 
This list has now been changed to a moderated list so that one of the moderators have to approve all posts before they are sent out to the whole list. Hopefully that will cure our spam problem! :-) I've also deleted all of the spam postings that I could find from the group archive.

Has anyone come across any interesting button-phobia tit-bits lately? I used to see quite a few references on TV programmes etc. but not for quite some time.
 
Best wishes,
 
Claire.

often that means that any real posts would be delayed for some time.

Hi Claire (waves)

Is it possible for you to change the settings so that I can check
posts, since I am online every day? Or would that give me too much
power? (Mwah-hah-hah- ha!)

I can delete the spam and will do that anyway. I think new members will
be put off and won't post if they find the group and see it is all spam.
