Will do, Piotr.
But first, I need a new name for the
group.
Should it be Nostratic2? Or
NewNostratic? Or other?
Your suggestion would be most helpful.
Also, should I ask the old members to sign up
or should I simply move them over to the new
group? Never know which way to proceed on that one.
Your policy on Cybalist is pretty much what mine on
Language-Origins and GlobalBrain have been. Yes, I do like your idea of
discipling off-list. I shall follow that.
Actually I'll follow all your suggestions.
They're great.
Yes, I'll be pleased to sign you up as reserve
moderator and if there are any others out there who are reading this and wish to
be made reserve moderator, please inform me.
Ciao,
Gerry

Subject: Re: [nostratic] A new Nostratic
list?
I suggest that since Gerry was the first to volunteer, she
should open a new list and get registered as its owner and moderator. Then she
can appoint one or two reserve moderators. I don't mind being one of them as
long as Gerry is prepared to take care of the routine business most of the
time. Then the inauguration of a new forum should be announced on Nostratic
and all the Nostratic members should be invited to join it -- excluding
"idmpost34" or any other spammers, of course.
My policy on Cybalist is
to moderate any new members until I have a chance to see that they know how to
behave. Spammers are thrown off the list at once. I occasionally have to
discipline people who violate standard netiquette, but I prefer to do that
off-list. I'd set the status of all the Nostratic members who move to the new
list to "Can post without moderation", and _then_ (after making sure that Mr.
idmpost34 & al. are not aboard) select the setting "New members are
moderated" in the list properties.
