On other words:  This is all WW's problem, and he should fix it,
yes?

Please, guys, don't force him to do that.  You wouldn't like him to
"fix" this ML by force.

Yes, but not very often.

When I logged on this morning, the ML folder was pretty empty, so I
*assume* that WW has now taken steps in the direction of moderating
or even shutting down the ML.  I *know* that he will get DOZENS of
mails coming in, saying nothing more than "Hello?  Was I
unsubscribed?  Where are the messages?"

<sigh>
