the only problem with this logic, nathan, is that i don't see any of the
people crying wolf about moderation being able to judge usenet posts either
lightly or fairly.  i respect the work of the apple 2
programmers/developers/enthusiasts right now, unfortunately most of the
time i think the ones most inclined to go for a moderated newsgroup act
with the same immaturity and irrationality that the pirates and apple 2
saboteurs do.
