I agree with Gregbo here.  I am slightly annoyed by moderated
lists for open discussion type issues, I think that the mechanism
interferes too much with the forum (yes, I know, there are good points
to moderate anyhow), we typically flush the discussion type lists
on a regular basis anyhow.  The S/N is just put up with to keep
the bandwidth reasonable.

However, for things like net.sources, which we would like to keep
forever, it be nice to have the human editor weeding out the crap
so everyone gets a consistant distribution that you can set a long
expire time on, or not expire at all, and not having to worry about
the directories being filled up with the type of noise Greg mentions.
