I think there are many on the Internetworkers list who would enjoy this
article if it hasn't already been read.

Here's a quote:
Geoff Cohen has a great observation about this. He said "The likelihood
that any unmoderated group will eventually get into a flame-war about
whether or not to have a moderator approaches one as time increases." As a
group commits to its existence as a group, and begins to think that the
group is good or important, the chance that they will begin to call for
additional structure, in order to defend themselves from themselves, gets
very, very high.
