I'd support a moderated version of this mailing list, and it's great that you're volunteering to be the moderator. (I'd volunteer myself but it takes a certain personality and more time than I have.) Let me suggest a few of things to make your list more successful. 1. Make the archive public. Why would people join unless they can sample what they're getting into? 2. Why moderate posts and also restrict subscriptions? That seems to be severe overkill. If you're willing to moderate, then let everyone join without screening them. 3. Tell us a bit about yourself. You're asking us to trust you with a certain responsibility but we know nothing about you. A search through the archive found only two posts by you previous to this one, both one-liners. 4. Give some examples of posts that you would let through and ones you would reject.
