Subject: M-I: Moderated List


Currently we have an unmoderated list and a sadly unmoderated one at 
that. It is only moderated when Zeynep finds some time to put in the effort. Jon
Flanders meanwhile seems to have zero interest in the health of the list. For a
couple of months Zeynep posted once a month and now it seems to be Jon's turn. I
wonder if one of our problems is that we have a board of moderators who
apparently lack consensus on some basic issues. I wonder if Louis G. would
consider "Utica Rose" a "progressive". If "Utica Rose"is a progressive, then the
term lacks meaning except in an Orwellian
sense.Louis P

Jon Flanders:

  It is quite true that I have had little time for the list. We are at the
beginning of a battle over railroad downsizing here. I would not mind if there
was a discussion of possible other moderators at this point. It seems to me that
things have calmed down to the point where we could do that.

  Utica Rose is a minor problem compared to previous flameouts.

    By the way, I did warn Gary privately about threats, since he said he was
leaving the list. I do hope he re-considers and comes back at some point.
