I think you have hit upon the prime reason for the deterioration of this
list with your first point. It is also the major reason I never recommend
this list to new collectors. As it has been said before by others, all of
our hobbies, what ever they may be are supposed to be a source of enjoyment
and escape from the trials of everyday life. This list should be a source
of education and enjoyment not a stressful experience.

Your second point is the perfect solution, a moderated list in which emails
are not released until they are approved as not containing infractions of
the rules. Now some would call this censorship but I would point to the
fact that there is currently a list of guidelines that everyone is supposed
to adhere to. http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing_list.shtml The
problem is that they are currently ignored and not enforced. A good
compromise to hands-on moderation of the list would be the strict
inforcement of the current rules.

Just my two cents.................

> Hello to the list.

out (Mike and Mark) will lead the list to die itself if it continues this
way.

it's due to the personal attacks and messages sent to the members. They were
private messages that should have been sent directly to the members and not
on the list.

would read each incoming message and refuse all the messages whose content
is offensive for a list member. This way, we'll only get messages whose
object is about meteorites and not about meteorite guys.
