Could someone tell me what is allowed in net.women and what is allowed
in net.women.only? Perhaps we should appoint someone unofficial moderator.
They would kludge together cancel messages for unworthy messages and/or
chastise those who dare submit their ideas wrongly.
--------------------------------------------------
I vote against a moderator, or anyone canceling "unworthy" mes-
sages. The only criteria for submitting an article to
net.women.only instead of net.women is whether the author consid-
ers that the subject would be of little interest to men but of
main interest to women. I see no need to totally exclude men
from reading or posting to this newsgroup; this is a support
group for women, not a restricted club. If men want to contri-
bute, fine. The purpose is to exchange ideas and information
about subjects of special interest to women and with a minimum of
flames; excessive flames should be quietly disregarded. It was
suggested in net.women that we women did not need a special
group, but need to be more aggressive -like the men. I believe
the opposite is true; men need to learn to be less aggressive.
