Apologies. What I meant was that yes, that statement ( "A steady but not too strong hand doing this for a long period will grow a community that does a good job of staying on topic.") may be factually correct, but what price on-topic? I belong to three lists: one heavily moderated, one slightly moderated, one unmoderated. I know which one I like best (subject matter notwithstanding). This list *does* have a soul.
