Most mailing lists have some kind of moderation. Some are more actively
moderated than others. A few are moderated to the point of censorship
(but not this one, IMHO). For those curious, I can think of two OS X
lists that are minimally moderated:
http://www.themacintoshguy.com/lists/X.html
http://www.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters
The former is a more minimally moderated list that is still focused
on OS X trouble-shooting, while the latter is just talking and very
little trouble-shooting.
If people feel that they want less restrictive list moderation, I think
people should have the choice to either find a forum they are more happy
with or even start their own forum. Of course, if you start your own
little forum, you might find it tough to play the role of a moderator
without seeming heavy-handed to some list members.
