I suggest we simply try to apply the 'meeting' model to the current 
mailing list.  Yes, there will be (potentially many) postings that are 
off-topic.  But a moderated list requires direct intervention of the 
moderator, for every posting.

That strikes me as more of a burden on the moderator than simply having 
a "moderator" use the current list to declare topics and offer guidance 
about getting back on topic, if wandering postings involve more than one 
or two folks.
