I think that sounds good. I don't think you'll miss anything significant
since what is a concern is things which start to brew out of control,
and those get noticed (and if you have a semi-formal policy, you'll get
helpful e-mails if you aren't noticing). The situation where someone
says something which gets a little under someone's skin, and they make a
snippy remark, and then the original poster apologizes or just keeps
their trap shut, and the whole thing dies, those are mostly OK.
I just want to add that I for one am really pleased that the Lugnet
administration is becoming visible and active again. It may take a while
for that to permeate to all aspects of Lugnet, but I think Lugnet is
going to recover some of it's luster as various issues (technical and
social) get addressed.
