As the current list moderator, I should point out that the current 
policy is that if you are subscribed to the list, then your posts are 
let through without ever pausing in the moderation queue.

If the internet committee, or indeed, the members as a whole, feel that 
policy needs to change, it can be changed. I'm sure that wmoran or David 
O. would be happy to talk you through the process since I don't really 
know it.

As far as my opinion goes, you'll note how much I contributed to the 
recent fracas. I don't think this is the best venue for such chatter; 
but it comes and goes and it's not new - once in a while, people who get 
wound up about things vent and rant on the list. And that's ok and to be 
expected among intelligent, interested and interesting individuals.

IMO, it would be better if they were more peaceful in general, had more 
respect for the intent of wplug at wplug.org and kept their posts here to a 
higher level of topicality and let fly elsewhere if necessary. However, 
I'm aware that it will die down (Is wardriving ethical, anyone, anyone?) 
and probably faster if I leave it alone.

Frankly, I have better things to do than to allow my limited brain 
cycles to be spent interceding. If, on the other hand, I see consistent 
and continued perversion of the intention of the list, I would probably 
want to do something about it.
