The sad thing is, these measures aren't even needed on the other lists I
admin on. The people there can handle things just fine, without GridSec or
the Admins having to interfere often, and without other listmembers posting
long nag-nag posts.

Matt is AFAIK logging on once or twice a day, downloading his mail, writing
his replies, then logging back on to send it. He's not spending 2-4 hours
or more a day just sitting online waiting for the mail to arrive.

Nobody is obligated to reply to anyone. I fail to see why this is such a
big problem in your mind.

I'm part of the Administrative team here. My job is first and foremost to
make sure the list is running nicely, and secondly to take part as an
active member. And frankly, a pile of card postings doesn't really
interest me, so most of the time I trash them unread.

Yes, I'm sure the playtesters would *LOVE* to break their Non-Disclosure
Agreements for your sake.

Then subscribe to the appropriate list. (Oh, and guess who's an Admin there?)
