Yeah, but what IS the "right thing"? I don't expect
that Victor will be the "List Dad" forever, nor to I
require it. Some day in the future (as with all lists)
the moderator will no longer WANT to be the moderator.
Then we are at the mercy of whoever will fill the
place. I mean, think about it! We need something
written down, because what if (heaven forbid) I may
become the List Dad!!!
