A question before I take the time to respond to your questionaire about pro and cons of "moderation". I don't "moderate" my list, since I don't feel it is appropriate or productive to do so. Before I would try to explain why, I'd like to confirm that you are not surveying only owners of moderated lists (as opposed to a sampling of all listowners). I presume the latter, since it seems clear that if you surveyed only moderators you'd get a very biased answer to questions about whether lists should be moderated. Thanks. -- Phil Sollins (OTS-L)
