It seems funny to speak of a magazine as "moderated". A better term
is "edited". The editing is to insure some minimum of quality of
materials, to add consistent formatting, to package the materials in
about the same number of pages/month, and to include a cross-section
of materials of interest. The selection of materials is subjective, as is
true of any editing, but it's perfectly fine for a magazine to have a
particular focus and personality.

The associated discussion list is currently unmoderated (and has been
since it started in June 1996). Hopefully moderation won't ever be
necessary. The purpose of the list is more for study and sharing of
information, and personal attacks and one-like small talk messages
are discouraged.
