I want to rephrase my unfortunate choice of words for clarification.
"I'm allowing..." means, "I'm not going to step in and decide for the
moderator who is perfectly capable of making these decisions on his
own." Anyone who is on moderation is perfectly welcome to contact me,
however, I'll only serve as an intermediary between him/her and the
list moderator. Ultimately, the public (and most of the private)
lists are run by volunteers, who don't need my help or advice to run them.
