I fully support the way this list is run and moderated. It provides invaluable and timely information on issues of importance and topicality.
It's far and away the best moderated list of which I am a member.

The job of a moderator is to censor. There is no other word to describe the job you are asked to do. Censorship is not always a bad thing. You have disagreed with me a number of times on the focus of the list and the movement but allowed those postings through while posting your disagreement openly. Keeping off-topic and insulting material off the list is exactly what your job as moderator entails and you retain my confidence. -- Dr Andrew A Adams, School of Systems Engineering The University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6AY, UK Tel:44-118-378-6997 E-mail:[email protected] http://www.rdg.ac.uk/~sis00aaa/
