Greater freedom requires greater responsibility. comp.object.moderated is being created for two reasons: 1. To provide participants the freedom to use a service (moderation) provided voluntarily to anyone who wants it. 2. This service (moderation) ensures that participants must conform to minimal standards of responsibility in their postings. Anyone who wishes to post below the minimum standard of responsibility as defined by the moderated group should post to comp.object. Should comp.object.moderated come to pass, anyone who subscribes to both comp.object and comp.object.moderated should get *all* postings, just as if the moderated group had not formed. To assert that the formation of a moderated group restricts your freedom to post is simply dishonest. You are afraid of loosing your audience, nothing more. Regards, Bob Oliver
