Feel free to disagree with me all you like, but I find we're very tolerant of a lot of crap spewed onto the list - even those on moderation often have their messages approved.
Once again, you are illuminating the problem, John. You are subjectively deciding for us all, what is "crap" and what is not. Don't you get it!?
We get it alright. But you're presenting yourself as the only person who really knows the right way to do things, and you don't. A couple days ago you didn't even know that lists have owners, and now you're trying to tell everybody how to run a mailing list. Well I'm sorry, but you simply don't know enough to have any credible opinions on the subject. Why aren't you willing to listen to the voices of experience? This is not a Wikipedia thing, this is a problem common to all online projects, so much so that moderation capabilities are built into the list management software! I'm willing to cut you some slack, because I'm interested in alternate viewpoints, but please show some respect in return, OK?
