One day, someone no one had ever heard of before ("Tybalt" - who has the
same address after the @ as WW) suddenly appeared on the list and announced
that he was WW's appointed moderator.  And Tybalt is inconsistant in the
extreme about what does and doesn't, and WHO does and doesn't, get moderated
- and has even, on occassion dredged up posts that are weeks old and have
died natural deaths to threaten people to stop talking about those subjects
they've already stopped talking about, on pain of permanent unsubbing

Maybe it's time
