[57north-discuss] Mailing list etiquette (was: BCS Site Visit: University of Aberdeen Data Centre)

[Tony Shannon]

Iain - implementing changes arbitrarily does no-one any favours & isn't
what a hackspace is about.

Please remove the moderation requirement, & we can all discuss this
tomorrow, see what the consensus is & then act as a group.

Personally I agree that a change to the reply address, which removes the
requirement for moderation is the simplest, no maintenance solution, but
I'm happy to chat & see what people think is best.

Moderation is not something I'm a fan of, except when a member is in
conflict with 57N's articles of association / deemed necessary by the
directors or a quorum vote.

None of that applies in this case.

Tony
