Another example of confusion based on the terminology.
Roberto has explained that the "filtered" list would be for good
participants, (although one normally "filters" out troublemakers).  I
suppose you could call it what it really is: a moderated list, e.g.,
ga-moderated@dnso.org.

I'll join Karl in removing myself from this discussion if you can't get a
meaningful discussion going on a sole unmoderated list.  One of the
freedoms of the Internet is the removal of gatekeepers to information and
communication.  Now here is a group inserting a new set of gatekeepers.
