I've often wondered about the standard evolution of a mailing list over
time. I wonder if there are statistics out there which demonstrate at
which point a mailing list needs to be moderated, closed from external
posts, digested, etc. Small mailing lists don't really need these
features, but large ones can't exist without them.
