Most of mine came from the same handful of folks, none were malicious, all were people on FT I respect. But after a while, it became frustating to deal with. I guess my attitude was "if so-and-so wants to tell me how to moderate, maybe so-and-so should just become a moderator already". I think they were trying to be helpful... but it just doubled my work. In any case... it is hard enough for me to stay on top of personal e-mail. I actually turned the FT PM function off for a significant length of time after I resigned moderating just because I wanted to just have one-way communication for a while.
