Because it will inevitably arise that some thread will be moved over 
there - sparking again the debate.

Because this list serves as an "safety valve" outlet for the main LUG - 
and functions quite well for that.

Because it would be just as easy or perhaps easier  to create a "L-OT 
Moderated" list for those who wish to have their email vetted before it 
sullies their hard drive (all 13 of them) and leave this list alone.

Because the principle at stake here is this: do individuals accept the 
responsibility for what they read or don't read? or do they ask someone 
else to make the decision for them?
