Hey folks,
I wanted to ask a question of people on this list. Up until now, I have been rejecting postings from non-list members that were just blind Calls for Papers (CFPs) for various journals and conferences. It seems to me that we all get plenty of spam like this and that we don't need to also receive it via our mailing lists.
Should I continue to block this content?
FWIW, I don't see any problem with our list member sharing CFPs for conferences/journals that they think are important. That should be allowed through. I've just been rejecting the drive-by non-member CFP postings.

I agree with your approach.

I prefer that you continue blocking drive-by posts by non-list members.
