I would strongly suggest you to immediatley get a common-sense PERSON to act as the moderator for this net. Otherwise, more disgusting and bad-behaved ambassador-extraordinaries of your dearest country will show off themselves. See the above reply to my previous message from one indian of this kind.

I would strongly oppose any suggestions for any kind of moderation of this newsgroup. If any "bad-behaved ambassador-extraordinaries" do make an ass of themselves on the net, they should be dealt with on a case by case basis. That technique seems to have worked fine until now. The only acceptable reason (in my opinion) to moderate a newsgroup is to cut down network traffic by consolidating material in a shorter format. Your reason for moderating seems to be really to censor articles, and general censorship is simply not acceptable. Come to think of it, the moderator (read censor) would probably have knocked out the following self-righteous piece of junk from Mr. Hernandez to start with! > >NONSENSE and personal "glorification" should be banned > >from your net; otherwise lots of "Pinaki"'s will > >spring up making your net very little more than a gossip-like > >electronic magazine. > >H. Hernandez/ Grad. Student./ U. of Alberta (alberta!hector) > You would not want you piece to be "moderated" out, would you now? :-) > > Persons like him/her must be even banned the right of TRYING > to "think." Banned the right of TRYING to "think"?? You must be kidding! Who are you Mr. Hernandez? Adolf Hitler? Wouldn't you love to stuff everyone that happens to raise your cockles slightly, straight into a concentration camp - perhaps into the gas chamber? Take it easy on us mortals who err in ruffling you feathers :-) Talking of "banning", maybe we could start off by voting to ban you Mr. Hernandez, from the net. But that is not acceptable either, because you have as much right to express your opinion, however perverse, as anyone else! So have fun and enjoy! Jishnu Mukerji AT&T Information Systems Labs.

Don't know about moderators, but here is another vote for temperance in this newsgroup. I enjoy reading most postings to this newsgroup, and find the news snippets informative. If you have been disappointed by some of the recent uncivil postings here, please speak up. Those who have a pressing need to use bad language and launch personal attacks on total strangers should do it somewhere else.
