You had better think about this a little more. Right now posts show up
pretty quickly. If it has to go through a moderators computer that will
slow things down even if one was to use computer automated rules instead
of human intervention.

What if the moderators or his ISP has a problem? The news group comes to
a halt. What if the moderator gets sick, busy, or wants to take a
vacation? Does the news group come to a halt or do things run like they
do now until he gets back?

Moderating a public news group is no small thing.

Translation:

If this group had a moderator I wouldn't be able to continue my HD war
with David or participate in other OT threads.
