I missed this comment. I strongly disagree with "we haven't had any problems before". Most of the lists have a pretty low signal-to-noise ratio, with many spammy comments, endless repetition of the same points, rampant "+1" and "-1", off-topic discussion. A well-moderated list can be a valuable forum for achieving consensus, rather than just a soapbox for every opinion to be voiced.
