*shrug*
Most mailing lists I am on seem to get by fine without overt
moderation - including this one.  Most moderated lists I am on seem to
get by with thread killing - an argument is allowed to run for a few
posts, then the moderator posts that he is officially killing the
thread, and further posts on that will be rejected (and should be taken
to email). Prefiltering to suit *any* one individuals opinion of what is
or isn't on topic seems highly suspect for any list, and unacceptable on
a list supposedly to define policy. Note I have never read the list in
question, so am arguing on general principles here, not this specific
instance..... perhaps a parallel list setup (with $listname and
$listname-filtered) could be set up with posts making it to the second
list only with moderator approval?
