list moderation (was Co-ops (was Reasons to go raw)

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeff,

 

I appreciate what you say here and how you handled this situation.

Some lists are so tightly controlled that it's very stifling.

Others get out of control and there's no one to rein it in. Your

leadership seems very reasonable and balanced.

 

Thanks,

 

Laurie
