alice-teacher Do we need to be moderated?

[Gamez, Enrique A (172B)]

Alice list moderators,

>From what I can see, most people on the Alice list seem to be professional educators – I being the exception.  Why then do you feel this list needs to be "moderated" (I.e. policed)?  How often does an innapropriate post come along from this esteemed group?  In my view, the decision to moderate is  unnecessary, adds additional work for someone, and removes the immediacy of what communication means today among the likes of chat and Twitter, etc.  Please reconsider this decision.  If the decision to go moderated is based on having an .edu host, perhaps the list can be moved to Yahoo Groups or another free hosting option, or the institution can append some kind of disclaimer at the end of posts.  With Yahoo Groups, you can still control who joins the list and whether or not it deserves this level of review.

[Of course, if you all never hear from me again you'll know what happened!  <wink>]
