Dear Anita
I know running a list can be a fraught task. Recently we lost
Austarch here in Australia because one emailer decided to slander
another and the owner was taken to court over the slander being
allowed. Consequently over a thousand people lost a vital tool of
communication. I would be devastated to lose Histarch because it is
important to me personally as a means of feeling in touch with other
historical archaeologists which eases to a degree the loneliness one
can feel when in a world that is always contennected world. Not to
mention its vital role as an invaluable source of information. I
think you have every right to moderate about subjects, there is
always personal email if people want to consider a topic further as
the posters email is always there and you can quickly group various
people under a single name in your email program.
So a big thank you
from all those thousands of quite people who read but don't often post
Susan
