I HATE MODERATING. it turns a person into a list-Nazi. i had to do it once
when somebody was actually stalking another person, and it drove me mad.
the other owner and I threw the guy off, because he was consuming too much
time. do not want to have to do this.

This is a most excellent and creative idea!

After re-reading 2 days of list scrimmage, i now agree. Steve, Belly up to
the bar and say you are sorry, and stop giving orders. Because moderating a
list is too time consuming, and we cannot have this sort of public insult
festival. cannot and will not.

A bit of apology goes a long way.
