    I believe that the more involved list moderation is, the more
    liability the company make take on.  If the moderation is spam
    filtering, then the company might still be a common carrier.  As soon
    as you lose that content neutrality, your moderation becomes active
    editing, and you take on new responsibilities.  IANAL.
    
    
    That said, I wish that Al wouldn't take the view he's taken on obvious
    versus non-obvious pseudonyms.
