Hey Chris, Since I was the one championing the need for a moderated list, first I just want to say thanks for blocking Mario's address. It was very nice of you to take care of that, especially since you're not even the mod. :) And as for timing, no one person can or should be anchored to a list 24/7, all the more so if that person isn't the mod. That's why many lists have co-mods. Can you tell us who the mods are supposed to be?
Again, thanks for stepping up and taking care of this.
