Well, if the 5-min/day estimate is accurate, I spend that much and (way!) 
more on here anyway! I'll volunteer my name to the hat, unless/until 
something arises that makes it impossible for me to check the list almost 
every U.S. daylight hour, as I'm doing now, and as long as I can get 
someone else to "cover" when I'm on the road or unavailable; about five 
weeks/year. This is assuming that the "moderation" is 
list-command-troubleshooting (subscribe/unsub, missing messages, etc.) 
and "riding herd" on _way_ off-topic discussions, and not anything more 
"active". Also assuming that no "special" software is required that might 
conflict with the firewall at work - otherwise I'd be limited to doing 
everything from home, which would let me out since I don't connect from 
home on weeknights.

I've been here since just before the AOL forum was closed; I assume 
that's long enough.
