Well, with an admin list, old-timers can just ignore it.  I think Paul's comment:

is asking for a separate list for meta-discussion like this.

But I'm really arguing for it because Jim asked for it.

I think that the important principle for a voluteer organization is for the volunteers to say "yes" to the other volunteers as much as possible.  So I really want us to say "yes" to Jim, and "yes" to you, JJ.

If it is more than you want to moderate, JJ, and if Jim doesn't want to moderate it himself, I will.
