So what ? If they end up doing a poor job, no one will post and the group will
die - all the traffic would saty in the unmoderated forum. If they do a good
job, then intelligent discussion will tend to migrate towards the moderated
forum.
No one is holding a gun to anyone's head - we can all read whatever we like,
and post to any group we want. The addition of a group (moderated or not)
<expands> choices.
