If a list is unmoderated, that means that that if you
are hauled into court because someone thinks they have
been libeled, you will likely win the case.
Notice that doesn't keep you out of court, or prevent
tense conversations with lawyers.
The decision to hand the reigns over to someone else
is not something I came up with in the last few days.
I had been considering it for several months.

It was not particularly easy to let go of it, which is
probably why it took me 6 months to make a decision.
I'm glad to leave it in the capable hands of Steve Adams.
Might take me awhile to get over feeling obligated to
check out every post.

I remain the owner until Steve says to transfer it
over to him. There's another post in the last
week about that.
