FWIW, I think they should step down now.  They've not held up their end of
the bargain, even though several folks have offered to help repeatedly
throughout the 'problem period', which includes most of the life of c.l.p.a.

As a compromise solution, and only if it's effective, we can add moderators.

I'll volunteer, as long as someone gives me hints as to the mechanisms (it's
been a while since I was doing usenet for real).

PS: I think decoupling the mailing list from the newsgroup is a bad
precedent and a political trouble zone.
