Using a Program vs Moderation by hand

[Scott Cunningham <scottec @ netcom . com>]

Is anyone out there moderating and/or running a list by hand as apposed 
to by a program like majordomo or listserv?  Are there any advantages 
other than the obvious human element?  (ie moderation by content with 
strategic canned replies, catching spams, avoiding technical dificulties 
etc)  Are there utilities to aid in this and if so what.  Thanks in advance
