Walter,
I belong to several newsgroups. One pair is moderated the other is not. You
can see the same sort of posts on both. But the unmoderated has about one
third more posts. That extra third is mostly flames and worthless. The
unmoderated list has threads that wander far from the subject of the list
and from the origional thread. A rule of thumb on the unmoderated list is
that when you see Nazi in the text the thread has run its course.
I am in favor of a moderated list. It will bring a little discipline - I
need it, especially on quotes- and temperance. Netequette will be learned,
and if anyone really wants an umoderated list, do what those who objected to
a moderator on the newsgroup I subscribed to. Start your own.
 
But be prepared to invest a lot of your life and time to it.
