I don't know about "moderators", but I do think list admins are appropriate. You want someone to watch the list and curtail inappropriate behavior (and postings), and not really to moderate the posts. Moderation suggests some control over what gets posted to the mailing list, and unless you make the list fully moderated, that is impossible. Unfortunately, one of the large disadvantages of an unmoderated mailing has versus a moderated mailing list or forum is the inability to retroactively remove posts that have been made that were not on-topic, or otherwise not appropriate. That said, I'd rather have an unmoderated mailing list over either of the other options. The information exchange is so much more important than the ridged control or inappropriate behavior. -Sean _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
