[Wikipedia-l] Mark's moderation compromise

[Poor, Edmund W]

What is the fear of Jimbo's proposed moderation experiment? 

All he's saying is that wikiEN-l will be moderated for a little over 2 months, i.e., until March 1, 2003. At that point we will decide whether to unmoderate it, or to continue.

Anyone who wants to participate on a moderated English-language list, to discuss the English Wikipedia, is welcome. All others are still free to post to wikipedia-l which will remain unmoderated. Those who like their scum or slush or whatever unfiltered will still get plenty this way.

What could possibly be wrong with such an experiment?
