I echo these sentiments. Alexander on the main 'large'  Nikon list takes a
fairly active role as a moderator, which produces mixed reactions but works
by and large.

I don't think the moderator of the MF Nikon list (about 500 sensible souls)
has ever had to step in. It remains a model of what the LUG once was and
still should be.

If there were such a thing as a lightly moderated LUG list, I, for one,
would emigrate immediately. The BS factor on the present one seems to be
increasing exponentially to the detriment of all but a few who seem to
quite enjoy these shenanigans.
