Re: Moderated List
The problem with moderation (IMHO) is that otherwise valuable contributions can
be lost to list subscribers. My
experience with lists going moderated is that the best contributors drop off the
list.
I've noticed that MTS (for example) often responds to calls for help, with
pertinent and informed information. I'd hate
to see that kind of valuable input lost to us.
Yes, he does use some pretty foul and disappointing language, but I can just
pass those comments by, and thank him for
those comments which are of real value. I can also just ignore those posts which
are nothing but foul flames. Those who
feel that they must respond to him in kind, are providing him with the perfect
opportunity to entertain himself by
responding even more gleefully.
So, my vote is for no moderation of the list. I know that opinion will outrage
some on the list. If so, please just
ignore it, and don't flame me, 'cuz I'll just ignore the flames.
Regards,
Jim
