You're taking the privilege of talking for others, though. Unless there has
been off-list discussion, that's pretty double standard of you.

I don't want such power. I asked for volunteers. There were none.

I have a life, and I spend already too much time on the net as is. If you
think I'm looking for a position of power on a *mailing list*, you're smoking
some truly excellent crack.

There is no moderation (all posts held until explicit approval). There is a
system of warnings, in theory. In practice, the list cops are not there.
