[Foundation-l] A discussion list for Wikimedia (not "Foundation") matters

[J Alexandr Ledbury-Romanov]

Just because the list moderators don't publicly come down like a ton of
bricks on every conversation that gets lively does not mean that we are
absentee. Speaking for myself only, I'll conceed that I have intervened
little in recent times, but that has because I have felt little need to do
so. In general, I suspect that the level of moderation on this list is too
hands-off for some, about right for others, and draconian for a few.
