Yes - and another silent witness here :-) I tend not to contribute to DDN for the above reason, however still follow discussions with interest - Seems to me this current thread on moderation might be overly comparing list moderation to the role of policeman or headmaster scolding noisy children. As a moderator with TechSoup, my experience lends to a suggestion that spam/ inappropriate post management is really a minor task (and as others have noted; easer to manage nowadays with the technical tools available); of more importance to moderation are tasks of maintaining list culture, supporting (and sometimes generating) discussions, ensuring the timeliness of posts and working to promote the lists and forums.
