Why?BEE-L is taking over my life it seems. Just to see what happens, I have been moderating in real-time but that has to end. Discussion has been excellent and the speeding up pays off, except people are treating the list like Facebook with interjections.
It's not 1985 anymore.
Bee-L isn't really a list anymore. It's a forum. Only instead of being in a forum format, it's still formatted like a list. Are you a glutton for punishment?
Why not set up a forum for Bee-L on Bee-L.org (or ask everyone to start posting here) and let topics flow like a conversation? You won't have to approve every post, and conversations can flow in real time, rather than waiting on posts to be approved before anyone can respond.
