   Yup - it is a "free" service, although the moderator(s) can
   make the decision whether to allow them or not. I suppose if
   necessary we could just have a "photo-3d-poll" list with no
   messages except polls and turn poll posting off on all the 
   other lists if people get too upset with them.

   One of the unfortunate things is that Onelist doesn't work as
   well as my custom (ahem) software on preventing reposting of
   entire digests with essentially no added information. However
   if someone does it consistently and ignores suggestions not to
   do it, then I can turn moderation an individual bases by
   subscriber, although I *really* don't want to do that.

     The underscores are added as separators by onelist.
     As far as the ads go, for photo-3d, I'd prefer to just
     have them silently removed, by which I mean not to exchange
     one set of ads for another (ie, a sponsorship). This would 
     require support from the list and/or a generous donator.
     The volume on tech-3d and sd-3d is so low as not to be
     worthwhile worrying about, ad-wise, at the current time.

     On sell-3d, I think an ad based sponsorship would be
     appropriate.


Thanks!
