Review of activity on mod.ber- Wm Leler tektronix!wm This group really just got started, so it is hard to tell how things are going to turn out. What is really needed is some sort of cohesive style. Reviews seem to range from factual and objective, all the way to outright critiques of submissions. A review of net.music seems to embody the factual approach -- a count of the number of articles compared with the same time span one week earlier and a listing of the major topics of discussion. The review of net.flame by rabbitt!jj seems to strike a middle ground <which I like!> with quick capsule summaries of topics punctuated with the reviewers opinion of the quality of discussion. Some reviewers are getting into a style of having one line synopsies of most of the articles in a particular group <boring!>. Most of these reviews have a blank line between every line, as if excessive use of white space makes up for the lack of style. One review flaming because net.flame contains too many flames and not enough facts and figures <you figure that one out!> All in all, this group contains nothing new, just rehashing of stuff in other groups :-)
