It seems pertinent to ask why my own posting on the subject has not been
forwarded to the list...

Steven,
I fully support you as moderator of the AmSci OA list. The job of a
moderator
is to censor. There is no other word to describe the job you are asked to
do.
Censorship is not always a bad thing. You have disagreed with me a number of
times on the focus of the list and the movement but allowed those postings
through while posting your disagreement openly. Keeping off-topic and
insulting material off the list is exactly what your job as moderator
entails
and you retain my confidence.
