At the moment there are only ~3 messages a day at most, so it is not a big
deal to moderate. Of course if the group becomes more heavily used as a
result of moderation, then it will be more of a big deal.
I have heard from a few people who have said they could help out with
moderation, any others?
I agree with the point about improving automated cancels. However, part of
the reason the other the bionet groups are spam free is because they are
moderated.
