It should be more than a matter of simply having a moderated group. The
thing is under what conditions?
Did you read really the heinous rules for the group. Did you fail to see
the way that moderators can operate in way such that subjective desires
and wishes can predominate? They can do this by allowing "short" (what's
short?) one-upsmanship posts! They can also do it by posting personal
remarks in posts. Did you fail to see that there is no provision for
electing new moderators?! Not to mention that moderators are elected for
life!
Why should they use Usenet to advance one view? Why should they be
allowed to wrap themselves in the flag of comp. to shield themselves from
criticism?
