[Gendergap] Moderation?

[Carol Moore in DC]

Number one rule, practice self control: don't reply to list unless it's 
important for everyone to know,not just that you want them to know it 
;-)  Otherwise, reply to individual poster or not at all.  Of course 
this applies more to the more assertive posters.

However, if one is generally reluctant to post, thinking one's 
contributions are not important enough, one should not be discouraged by 
this. And the fact there is less gratuitous posting may mean more 
reluctant posters feel more free to post.

Also self-control cuts down on eventual debate on what should or should 
not have been moderated.
