Re: Editorial: Guiness World Record for the shortest lived moderated group, "scistatmath"?

Reef Fish obviously has too much time on his hands and has posted many
more messages about the scistatmath Google Group than I have. The
traffic on scistatmath has been low, but the messages have been about
statistics, and personal attacks have been absent. If the next thread
on scistatmath occurs 5 years from now, so be it. The existence of the
group is not hurting anyone (except RF, apparently). If someone has a
question about statistics but is turned off by the environment here
created by Reef Fish, he or she is welcome to join scistatmath, a group
RF has promised not to join. Several statisticians from the
sci.stat.math have joined the group.

RF is quite interested in my qualifications and posting habits. I have
a PhD in physics and have worked as a quantitative financial analyst
for nine years. I am well read in time series analysis and have applied
time series and regression models to financial data sets. Obviously,
people can judge my messages by their content, by the follow-ups posted
by others, and by my posting history.

So far, scistatmath has not been moderated at all -- no messages have
been held back or removed. Messages will be removed only if they are
obnoxious or off-topic. If people like RF stay away, no moderation will
be necessary.
