All of the incoming mail is routed through Postini and I'm using reCAPTCHA extensively to block email address harvesting from the site.  This is a project that's been in the works for a while now and over the last couple of weeks the details have been settling down (some have noticed that the subscription address has changed from the original one) and as of today it's publicly viewable.  This link might be particularly amusing: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/I9O5CeqRI4D3hghJJfGQ (may need to wait for the DNS record to update)

Original content is expensive, many web entrepreneurs try to make it
off of freely available content and profit by the advertising model.

RDF and REST should make this sort of approach obsolete. I still miss
Deja News. Somethings disappear forever; others naggingly won't die.

I manage mailing lists for a few dozen clients and all of them
moderate. A nasty burden.

I am amazed the Ubuntu Wikis haven't been savaged. Good karma?

Everything comes to an end.
