My experience with (my) volunteer run internet cafe over several years 
was also that central organisation usually would kill volunteer 
action. Clearly stated aims and a few minimum ground rules and a 
positive approach worked very well.

When ideas and enthusiasm are of the essence, blocking or negative 
comments are more likely in an open forum when the population are not 
all present for the same reason. This is why I prefer the idea of a 
separate uk marketing list.
