Re: wsn delayed access

My apologies to WSN for ever suggesting that this list should be moderated. 
While I have nothing but love for the moderators, and appreciate their efforts 
to nurture this community, IMHO my demand that the list should be moderated is 
a fine example of the unintended consequences of popular demands on the system. 
Mea culpa, mea autocritiqa.

With all due respect - why would someone want to subscribe to a list from
which they want to see fewer postings?  I certainly agree that quantity
does not translate into quality, but the amount of discussion in the last
two or three months (not taking into consideration the last several days)
seems to indicate that the result of moderation has merely eliminated
discussion, not enhanced it.  Ironically, the people who demanded
moderation most frequently and most loudly now post much less frequently
(or not at all).  I can see I am not the only one who sees the current
atmosphere on this list as just a tad nihilistic.
