thats just your opinion, and of course you are entitled to it. I don't 
agree though.

For me, as long as the moderation is at a level that only removes 
completely offensive and inappropriate posts (such as repeated rude 
language, name calling etc.) then I'm happy with it. I wouldn't want 
moderation to go as far as removing posts simply for being a little OT...

Of course, any level of moderation implies someone somewhere making a 
judgment call, and you may well object to that in principle, in which 
case I guess we just have to agree to disagree.

I for hope some sort of moderation does come to this list.
