We don't have a moderator per se and I'll remind everyone of the rules : http://texascavers.com/rules.html
If the community at large decides they want moderation, someone can step up and take over the hosting and administration of the mailing list. I don't have the time nor will to moderate. If you feel someone is getting out of line on the list, send them a private message. If you don't have their contact info, send me a message and I'll provide it.
