<p class="MsoNormal">This is precisely how the Forum operates its lists – questions@ in particular, but all the others as well. And while Eddy Nigg was the long-time questions@ list admin, there is currently no one who really owns the task of monitoring the
questions list in a timely fashion (and I suspect that timely moderation is quite important for this new list that’s being proposed). I am currently doing a lot of the moderation but am transitioning the work to Ben, which I believe supports the point that
Gerv is making.<u></u><u></u></p>
