Earlier: ... Why are the list moderators a) still allowing boring diatribes from Armed Blowfish and b) allowing 2 day old boring diatribes from anybody through all of a sudden.
Peter Blaise responds: You're missing a "?" question mark, but I presume you're making a statement anyway, not really asking a question. Rhetorical, right?
Is there a scroll-down arrow key or delete key on your own computer keyboard? You may find either of those two keys a whole lot easier to use than all those other alphabet keys. I'm just sayin'. Of course, *I* love to hear from you. I'm not saying don't write in, even if what you have to say may not be interesting to someone else. But, then, why don't we give the same benefit of the doubt to other people's posts that you might not be interested in? Let's let others decide for themselves what to read or not, okay?
... unless YOU are paying the admin / moderator, and the list has your name on the title, eh? ;-) No?!? Well then, let's reduce the volunteer admin /moderator's job description to (a) preventing spam and (b) moderating off-topic postsers.
Otherwise, I can do my own editing, thank you, and I would NOT want to miss something just because YOU are not interested in it. I am not interested in reading this list ONLY over YOUR shoulder!
Oh, and by the way, I'm very interested in reading posts from ArmedBlowfish, and exploring the challenging experiences and viewpoint therein. I'm just sayin'.

Moderating off-topic posts can have its own whole world of controversy, because we will differ about how far someone can go before being off-topic.
One duty that I would add is preventing blatant "George-is-gay" style vandalism.
