Euh, I think this thread should be cut and closed. It is becoming more

moderating a mailing list and as well, and this is what I find
particularly disturbing, an Anne-ology bashing session.

Thank you.

Charles, one can only admire your patience, but isn't it time to put

a

stop to this nonsense with anne-ology (who I'm sure is not the
delightful Maureen, despite her use of the "-ology" suffix).

Who has the authority to remove her from the moderator role, for

which

she seems singularly un-qualified?

Anne-ology,

You are right, that is the general meaning of moderation. However,

when

we talk about moderation here, we talk about mailing list

moderation.

When we talk about moderator, we refer to a mailing list moderator,

not

to concepts such as panel moderators. A mailing list moderator has

a

specific role, which somewhat relates to the one of a moderator but

is

much more strict: it has been described a bit earlier but let me

restate

it: A mailing list moderator is in charge of the management of the

mailing list. This role mostly includes moderating emails, which

means:

- finding legitimate emails of posters who are not subscribed to

the

mailing list and moderating them as in publishing them to the list

(NOT

REPLYING TO THEM FIRST)
- rejecting incoming illegitimate emails, such as spam.

Another role of the list moderator usually (but not always)

involves:

- adding or unsubscribing email addresses per request of their

owner

- helping mailing list subscribers with similar tasks or technical
issues directly related to their mailing list subscription
- reminding everyone to be courteous

- following the netiquette (http://www.netiquette.org) and

reminding

mailing list subscribers to comply with it.

Among all these points only the last two may relate somewhat more

the

broader meaning of "moderation".

In short your daily task is not one moderation but rather one of

technical management. It also implies that you know how to post

properly

and understand the concept of mailing list discussion threads. From

my

perspective it seems you are not familiar with the concept,or that

you

perhaps have no desire to become acquainted with these notions

which

would be problematic for a mailing list moderator. Hence, there is

no

need to "clean" any "cruft from an email. Signs, mentions of date,

time,

etc. in an email are part of its information and may form a part of

the

thread. We need that. I notice you have managed to start a new

thread

"Re: [libreoffice-users] in response ..." that is not integrated

with

the original thread. This is not correct and you seem to do this

for

each one of your reply.

Below is one page belonging to another community that may be

helpful to

you:

Hope this helps,

Charles

Do you know what moderation means?


        moderation := "the avoidance of excess or extremes,

especially in

one's behavior or political opinions"

The correct thing is to _approve_ the message, not _respond_

within the

message. As such, it is _always_ possible to do the right thing.

That is basic moderation 101
