Yes this did get out of control, I was about to unsubscribe myself.

Subject: [VLES] list moderation
Hi All,
I've been following the discussions with much interest. Following in Geoff’s trailblazing footsteps, my team is now the manager for this list. We’ve tried to take a light touch to moderation. If any list members feel that postings have been too aggressive (flaming etc) then please contact [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
I'm pleased to see the recent blossoming of discussion. There was a similar phenomenon on the ALT members list last month, where members found an area of interest that they wanted to give some substantial attention to. Some list members signed off, saying the volume of messages was too high. We too have a had a number of unsubscribe requests this week as a result of discussions.
We clearly have a meeting of minds here, and I don't want to disturb the flow. However we've gone beyond the area of VLEs into wider issues around modes of learning and changing perceptions of the role of "technology".
I like Chris’s idea of continuing the thread on a wiki, which would collect thoughts together from members who choose to contribute. Any volunteers for setting one up?
Amber
