I would like to add a couple comments to followup - I am trusting Frank to organize a responsible group of listers to help manage the list - this should be a democracy, and I have occasionally solicited input myself on major issues like whether we moderate or not - I believe Frank will continue that tradition for any major changes. This should not be viewed as Frank taking control of the list - just working to get more people involved to help out, which I have wanted to do for some time and keep putting it off. Moderation may be necessary for a period to prevent antagonistic members from trying to bombard the list. Eventually, we shouldn't need post-by-post moderation, but it might do a lot to quell the noise level for a while. I suggested doing this as a method to keep things civil, but I know that in prior surveys, the opinion was against doing this. I agree with most that it should only be a temporary last resort to control certain individuals who have nothing more productive to do with their time than bombard the list with rants. -Colin
