Suppose we commit to a very light moderation, by me, which you said you could accept, with others helping out by doing approvals of posts. AND we commit to setting up and testing a bbs system as you've proposed several times in the past.
We experiment -- wikien-l becomes moderated. wikipedia-l stays unmoderated and migrates to a bbs/email system. We later revisit the issue (March 1st, I propose) and see how it's working out in practice.
Some of your objections are concerns I share... for example, under moderation, the pace of a list is slowed down. But, by how much, and does it help or hinder productive discussions? That's an empirical question, and it depends on how many approvers we have and how often they are logged in, etc.
