Re: [Air-l] The Dire State of the AoIR List

If I may chime in... From time to time, particularly early on in AoIR's (short) history, there's been discussion of whether the list should be moderated or not, etc. Nothing uncommon, I think, we've all seen examples of what can happen with lists. In any event, my strong feeling has always been that the best lists are self-organizing and self-sustaining. I would strongly prefer that we refrain from filtering, making rules, etc., at the "executive" level of AoIR, and allow the list to function as it will. Most of us, probably all of us, already have means of filtering e-mails in numerous ways. I would prefer to have AoIR neither sanction nor censor expression. Thanks, Sj
