used to decide which messages to allow and which to block?

I strongly concur with Dave on the first point, having long since
implemented those measures on resources I control.
I mostly concur with Dave on the second point, but it's not clear to me
how to achieve the (entirely sensible) goal while still allowing diverse
and occasionally dissenting opinions to be heard. Might it be reasonable
(since this list is run by Mailman and the capability exists) for the
operators of the list to temporarily throw "moderate all" switch when
in their judgment the circumstances warrant it?
