Response to A question regarding the forum maintainer's duties.

from Sal Santamaura (santamaura@earthlink.net)
First Ed, thanks for doing this usually thankless *volunteer* work. I'm sure most folks appreciate it as much as I do. Complaining majorities usually drown out silent majorities.

Please do not take a hands off approach. You've been striking a fine balance. To repeat what I said in that recent thread, this isn't government, and censorship is perfectly acceptable in such a privately owned forum.

Letting a forum run unmoderated (or close to it) would be like having a call-in radio show without a screener. It's an ugly situation. If you feel that one person's humor is most people's offensiveness, delete at will! Don't ever develop a tolerance for lack of civility, and shrug off any abusive correspondence. Then simply delete that too!

Thanks again Ed.
