I'm unable to make those guarantees myself so I won't expect anyone  
to be able to make them. However, in practice, it has turned out  
unnecessary to have such a rigid system as someone will eventually  
moderate them when available. It hasn't worked out perfectly as  
sometimes none of us is online or in a moderator mood, but having  
more moderators will surely reduce the chances of emails sitting up  
in the queue for too long. Think of it as a self-regulating worker  
thread-pool with no master thread (eek! Alberto, you should start  
reading more non-technical stuff...)

OTOH, If you want to commit to be 100% effective on a given timeframe  
it's fine with me, but I won't come nagging if you leave a message in  
the queue when it's your turn and I don't expect anyone to come  
nagging at me if I moderate a message when it's not mine  :P
