Moderate the List!

[Stewart Lyon]

My vote re a moderator is NO. I don't think censorship is the answer. We
occasionally have a flair up like today's and, although I somehow missed
what was going on, the language used was not unlike that around a high
school -- in my part of the world anyway. So don't worry about the kids.
The harm done by that dissertation was far less than would be done by
passing everything through a filter whose characteristics are unknown.
(Harvey, do you allow misspelled words??)

The threat of a 30/06 (or whatever) worries me a lot more. Now there is a
sick mind.

I think Dave has the right approach -- "Throw the bums out."
