This would assume that posters know that someone is a moderator. It never occured to me that Anne 
is a moderator here.

The theory, supported by  research, is that active moderator
participation, results in a reduction in participation by list members,
with the highest impact being amongst the low-frequency posters.

Well, no. What happens when the moderator is an active participant on
the list, is that their messages tend to be seen as "authoritative" by
people who can browse list messages.  One side effect, is that
questioning information provided by the list moderator becomes
difficult/awkward.
