> As Moderator and list owner I have been taking excessive flack lately from all sides regarding the care and feeding of BEE-L.

I am sorry to hear this. I have always been a big fan of Bee-L and one
of the things I like about it is the even handed moderation. I may not
agree with all of the posts, but I think there has been an effort to
be fair. Plus, Aaron is a good friend and he deserves credit for his
effort, not a ration of shit.

I have said repeatedly that I find most unmoderated lists are a waste
of time. I am involved with only one other list besides this one and
it rarely experiences flame wars despite being unmoderated; no doubt
because the topic is not controversial so we seldom disagree on key
points.

However, disagreement should be seen as the beginning of a instructive
and rewarding discussion -- not the end of it.

Hoping to keep moving forward
Yours truly
Peter L Borst
