Re: Responsibility for the content of the Rietveld mailing list

[Radovan Cerny]

Yes, I fully agree with you, Alan.
Yes, the person signing messages to the Rietveld list is responsible for their content. As you 
know, many mailing lists are filtered by a "moderator". This is also the case for 
printed journals, which you gave as an example - the editor chooses to print letters, but often 
chooses not to print them. The Rietveld list has no moderator; you will see your messages posted 
automatically as soon as you send them. I have no control over such messages.
That's absolutely correct, and I wellcome that there is no "moderator" 
on the Rietveld mailing list. It means for example that we are not at 
all obliged to follow you if you say stop the discussion. And you have 
no technical tools to prevent us from continuing :-)

I hope it will stay like that.
Best wishes
Radovan
