That's right. Count me out. :-)
I'm not really supportive of the idea, either.
I don't like the idea either. It would slow down the pace of the list, and I fear that a moderated list would only lead to more bad feeling, when somebody who thinks they are making a legitimate point has their message rejected because somebody else considers it a flame. And of course, that bad feeling will spread to the wikipedia itself.
I understand why people want the list moderated - there's been a lot of tiresome crap on here lately (there usually is). But if you don't want to read a message, what's wrong with simply deleting it? Everybody can be their own moderator that way, without having somebody decide what they should and shouldn't read.
