I don't think we need a moderated list, nor should the onus be on one 
person to do the job - we are a community so we can *all* do it, if 
that's what we have agreed.  The first person to see an OT post should 
reply with a 'you should be asking here' message, and if that's the end 
of the thread on os-discuss I think the noise will drop pretty rapidly.

I don't think closing it is a good idea, but reclaiming it probably is ;-)
