Rumor has it that Jay West may have mentioned these words:

And IMNSHO, this is *your* list now, Jay. I think you've earned it --
you've put in a *lot* of work to keep this community alive and well-homed.
And just in case I haven't said it enough:
10 PRINT "Thank You! ";
20 GOTO 10
:-)

No it's not. That would be like saying it's the cop's fault your kid got
high on crack because the cop was on vacation and wasn't there to parent
your kid for ya.
You already moderate one list - why should you [have the extra burden to]
moderate them both? It's up to *us* to be civil to one another - to be the
parents, if you will - and not get suckered into (or start) something
wildly off-topic.
Maybe I'm full of condensed milk, but it's *our* fault things got out of
hand -- not yours.
Merry Xmas!
