If we don't screen posts before they go to the list, that would explain why we've getting an incredible amount of trollish edits by the likes of Rgulerdem over the past month or so. However it doesn't explain why we *don't* get loads of off-topic borderline spam. Clearly there is some moderation, and the moderators are awake. But their standards over the past month or so have been, to say the least, somewhat catholic. To the extent that I wonder why we bother running this list any more. The good discussion is being relentlessly drowned out by idiocy.
I know I've been playing this card a lot lately, but I'm really surprised that people are taking up their time with this kind of meta-meta-debate. We're now writing manifestos on how the mailing list should be run....
