There's a *reason* I didn't volunteer...and I do my part for the
open-source community in other areas.  I really don't appreciate you
implying otherwise.  I didn't mean a FAQ per-say so much as a post that
would be made every month or so with rules.  I don't think you'd like
what I would come up with based on some of the posts by the moderators
of this list.  I think that if a moderator is going to have rules of ANY
list, irc chanell, or usenet group...THEY need to make those rules
known.  I'm not the moderater, why should I make a rules list?  One last
rant: if someone is to volunteer to moderate a list, I think they should
know what they are getting in to.  If they can't handle the
responsibility of it, stop moderating. :-)
