there's a difference, you know...
> 1) I don't know enough about mailing list software to set it up
you apply with listmaster@lists.debian.org. then you simply get an email
from the mailing list software for every post, and based on how you act
on that email (reply/forward/ignore), the post is let through or not.

bugtraq for instance only has a single moderator. it's a slow list, but
it works. and the language is english, period. and debian-curiosa is not
a high-traffic list (unless we're discussing spam).
