Most e-mail lists struggle with the issue of balancing people's desire to post 
with the desire of list recipients to not have their mail boxes cluttered.  
Very few people who subscribe to wsn frequently post to it.  They may want 
conference announcements, job listings, book announcements, etc.    Whenever 
posting starts to get particularly heavy, the list is always bombarded with 
'unsubscribe' messages.

In that spirit, I'd like to ask people who've already contributed to the debate 
about whether to have moderation to not direct their comments to the entire 
list.
