Maybe it's time that we switch to moderation then, or, at least 
consider it.  If people in general find there's very little value 
to GZG-L as it stands, then, maybe it's time for a change.  Especially
given the amount of people lost to this list, and the general 
degradation of the signal to noise ratio.

I think there would be two hurdles -- one would be the actual logistics
of moderating the list (which should be easy, if I remember majordomo
correctly and if Matt has the time to do the switch over), and the
other would be finding an actual moderator, or moderators who'd be 
willing to do the job.

That being said, I'm willing to moderate, at least in the short 
term (I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.)  (Though, given
how often I updated the list archives, you may not want me to moderate.
(8-) )

There's also the philosophical argument concerning censorship -- but,
I think this could be addressed if there's also an unmoderated GZG-L
list available.  It might get a little confusing keeping both lists
straight, but, it's probably the fairest.

Thoughts?  This shouldn't be considered a formal RFC -- this is more of
tossing an idea out, and seeing what people think.  If people are 
really starting to be fed up with the list as a whole, then, this is 
probably the most realistic way out.

Thanks,
JGH
