The point is the corralling of precious Usenet resources - mainly
bandwidth on Usenet servers - to promote the interests of a single
group and to undemocratically shield that group from criticism.
There is also the aspect that it becomes a Usenet "comp." group and
the above narrow motivation of the proposed moderated group does not
make it worthy of such designation.
