I'd also like to note that your mail (the one I'm quoting) is the last
one that my mail client shows me the name of the person sending it in
the From field. Everything sent to EM that's more recent than your post
here shows up as being from the list rather than the person. Did you
change anything? I find it useful to see who it's from, though I suppose
some antispam systems may trigger falsely.

As for Electowiki, perhaps you could give someone else privileges to
approve users -- or choose the Wikipedia model where anyone (possibly
except spammers) can edit.

There also seems to be something odd going on with the EM archives.
Although the index doesn't work (only ranges back to 2015, see
http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/
), it's possible to manually go to earlier points (e.g.
http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2006-November/date.html),
though in that case, the by-thread view seems to be busted.
