I guess this a classic case of seeing what you want to see. (Uh, Paul, the moderation experiment HASN'T STARTED YET.)
I think that 'fear' has already started eating away at people's brains. I have found I am getting more crypto- related 'private' email from people who seem to be afraid of being 'seen' talking to me. In terms of 'seeing what you want to see', I have the perfect solution for those who actively seek to do just that. Set your email filter so that you only read your own posts. That way, your world-view will be filled only with smart, witty, intelligent posts. As for 'moderation', I consider it to have started with the forced removal of Dr. DV K from the list, although, of course, others are free to 'wrongly' disagree with me on this. Toto
