Tim May asked:

And was my article the kind of "sludge of spam" and "contentless name-calling" you thought the Moderation experiment was all about?

No. It definitely was not.

And what of the four or five of my posts a week ago which never made it to either the Main list or the Flames list? The contained no "sludge of spam" nor "contentless name-calling." What they dealt with was a claim (like this one) that some posts were not being passed on to either of the two lists, and that perhaps a conflict of interest was developing.

Does this still match your "understanding of Sandy's effort"?

Sadly, no. _Vin
