Here's another vote AGAINST moderating screen-l. 1) Sometimes discussions that are of apparent interest to many of you are not of interest to me. I suspect the opposite is also true. Much as I like Jeremy Butler from what little I know of him, I do not want to trust him (or anyone else) with deciding what is and what isn't interesting. If you don't like a line of discussion, just hit the discard button . . . 2) Often long discussions can become MORE interesting as they go on (e.g. the discussion about objectivity and documentaries that was going on a few weeks ago). I would be against setting any limits on length of conversations. 3) Finally (this may be a minority view) I even appreciate the responses to filmographic requests. First, I am often interested in these lists. Second, I recognize that, if replies were not posted, EVERYONE would send the same list of films to the poor person requesting them. -- Ben Alpers Princeton University
