I am fairly new here, but I have an idea on how to make people
happy.  First, create another fanfic mailing list.  Have it be kind of
moderated in that, if someone posts anything *NOT* a fanfic or C&C they
are removed from the list for a set amount of time.  I am not saying get
rid of the list we have, but make a sub list for fanfics and C&C only.
That way, those who use the FFML just for fanfics don't have spam to sort
through.
