re: self moderation on psn...  sounds like anything but "self" moderation. 
"limit software"???  let's keep more people on the list by limiting the
contribution of discussants???  limits can be lifted at the discretion of
the moderators???  so much for the free and open  flow of information. 
most emailers have a delete button and if subscribers feel burdened with
the amount of messages they should use it.  some even have automatic
deletes that can be set for whole classes of messages or just messages from
individual persons.  the point is this should be the decision of the
receiver, not the sender (or the "screener" in this case).  i strongly
oppose the whole idea of limit software on an open forum like this.  it's
hardly "progressive" and if it happens, i for one will certainly sign off
for good.  bill bogard
