So will there be a forum moderator? Hopefully there are several who can keep each other in check. The great thing about this email forum is that it isn't moderated and free to all. I don't care for single moderators who police everyone but allow themselves to run wild.
Many other forums work on a different philosophy than members only: info is available but access to post is restricted to members. So what if someone freeloads; too bad for them if they believe everything posted anyway.
