The suggestion was for a monitor, not a moderator.  A monitor would look at
messages that have been posted and note abusers of the net.  This is a task
that could be divided among several people for large groups, I suspect (split
up by date, site, topic, whatever... on any given (large) net there are
usually only a few topics under discussion, so spliting it up by topic with 
one person taking "all new topics" (and parcelling these out to other people
when they become major topics) should work).  A moderator, on the other hand,
looks at all incoming messages and decides whether to post them, and this
would be harder to split up among many people.
