Speak for yourself. YOU don't want a moderated newsgroup. You do NOT
speak for me or many others.


I have mixed feelings about it. If it's done the way a good landlord keeps a
pub pleasant to visit, then it's great to know there someone keeping things
well, the only thing that would immediately put me off is if access were
closed like a Yahoo group. A good pub may be run well, but it also needs to
allow people to walk straight in off the street to work at its best. Maybe
the metaphor lacks something, but it's as good as I can think of right now.
Maybe a public library might be a closer one..
