Dear Saji S Nair,

I strongly believe that such discussions must be free from filtration and objections.

Dear All,

Thanks to Internet, as we have a plenty of email discussion forums in LIS. In India, some of the discussion lists are moderated by List Owners, but others are free-for-all discussion groups without message filtering measures.

Currently, the number of messages appearing in moderated lists is meagre when compared to the other category. If email from subscribers to a moderated list is not got posted, it is quite natural that they may bypass such lists. Is it a welcome trend? It is argued that any member of a list can take part in a conversation or begin a new topic without any difficulties.

The question is:

Is there any need for rigorous reviewing/filtering measures in moderated email discussion forums in LIS?
