I wish you luck. And may your choice or choices be wise for whom
ever you might have you assist you in list moderating.
Also wish any moderators of any lists a lot of luck. Since I
moderate a couple of lists, a lot of things are snuk in, or atempted
to sneak in.

Hi
I've bene visiting family this weekend and so just returned Sunday
evening
to find a flood of emails about the discussion on this list getting
out of
hand, starting Saturday morning. I have already removed Gabe from
this
list.
Why did this happen?
I have just been on the phone to a friend and member of this list
to find
out what Gabe has been doing. I got to the point with the traffic
on this
list and the inevitable spam that floods into my inbox to try and
let the
list run itself, unless any complaints were made, or I saw something
obvious.
I was informed of some of the things said my Gabe, and I realised I
had
overlooked them because the subject lines related to speech
engines, or new
macs, or particular software apps, and without reading each mail I
had no
way of knowing something was wrong, until the complaints started
pouring in
on Saturday - I am very sorry for this.
So what now? As I said, Gabe has been removed from the Discuss
list, and to
make sure the list is better moderated in the future I will be
getting some
of the well known contributors to help moderate the list.
Again, I'm sorry this happened, and that I didn't see it earlier.
For more
than ten months I went through the tens of thousands of emails on
this list,
but in the past few months I have not been able to do this, and
have had to
filter based on subject line.
