In regard to Colin's earlier post: 1)I fully support a moderated list, not a draconian style of moderation, however a nudge by a moderator when things go awry would go a long way in maintaing and increasing membership. 2) That all subscribers donate a small amount of money in order to alleviate the costs involved in maintaining it. As we are just under 500 subscribers give or take 20 or so, if we were all to donate $5, this would bring a figure around $2000 to $2300, this should be sufficent to maintain the list for at least a year. 3) That the guidelines the moderators use, are clear to the subscribers. 4) That the list attach to all outgoing messages a link to how to unsuscribe to the list. 5) I support Frank's appointment as administrator.
