Sorry - the list software doesn't support moderated sub-lists. Even if it
did - the replies from the general list would _have_ to be passed through to
the sublist (even "immoderate" ones) for reply and defense - and then the
whole idea of moderation goes out the window.

That's why we're looking at a moderated list - there's a reasonably large
segment that drops off Klarinet due to the volume or subject matter, and
won't subscribe to Klarinet. I really don't know how many will subscribe to
both, but there's probably going to be significant "cross-pollination"
between the two. I'm not sure you'd need to subscribe to both ...

Cheers,
