As far as being the person who would have a hand in such moderation, I must
say that, like Camille, I abhor the idea of applying the technique to a
"literary" forum and would probably just put everything through anyway.  8-)

I find it irritating to post a "how to unsub" message on a Monday and then
get a "how the hell do I get out of this" message on the following
Wednesday.  But I'd prefer that to having a gatekeeper.

Just one reader's opinion....
