I think it is unnecessary. For the most part, the WC runs itself
very well. Not much intervention needed by Al, or anybody else.
We all seem to monitor ourselves quite nicely. If somebody does
stray, Al will send them a private note, which works.
Do you seriously believe somebody will read and heed a monthly
FAQ? I've never seen that happen. I am active on 130 lists, and
this is the best for monitoring itself. Usually an unmoderated
list becomes a "water cooler" list. But not WC, which is a
credit to its members.
So, if you really want to spend your time productively, answer
some of these technical issues ;-).
