you posted a suggestion that this list be moderated.

the character of A&A as founded by the Harlans, and that includes the lack
of editorial control.

he (and his employer) won't mind spending a couple of hours a day reading
the list, and then taking flack for what he did or did not post.  When he
goes on vacation or gets tired of moderating the list, I'll look to you to
step up to the plate and take on that work.


a little birdie told me that mine name was offered in nomination to be a
moderator. Well I respectfully decline, primarily because I believe in the
openness of the list. I've been on moderated lists and I don't like it. I
am on one now but it moderates only new members. they can not freely post
to the list until 5 messages have been approved by the listmom. I believe
in the free for all that goes on here. I have replied privately to Mr.
Minor as that is the way it should be done.

I readily admit my politics and wear it proudly. Now someone else asked me
privately how they could get the listserv minus my RAIN postings. They only
way that can happen is for me to stop posting.
