Maybe you could look at the list archive at
http://www.mail-archive.com/everything-list%40eskimo.com/maillist.html
and say which posts from, say, December 30th and 31st you would reject.
(Or, if the list would be shorter, you could say which posts in that
period you would keep!)
I realize that is quite a few postings, but if your list were to be
as active as this one, then you as the moderator would be faced with
making that many decisions on a regular basis. Since you are willing
to do that much work I assume that it is not much additional trouble to
rate the postings from just a couple of days.
