A week ago, I posted the existence of polling addresses on soc.culture.arabic and news.groups, dealing with the moderation status of soc.culture.islam. The options were to either send a message to islam-moderated@rascal.ics.utexas.edu to support the moderation concept, or islam-non-moderated@rascal.ics.utexas.edu To support the group initially being non-moderated. There have been several publicly voiced opinions, supporting and arguing against moderation, but I didn't count them. I also didn't count my own opinion. Basalat and his three moderators didn't vote. The following people supported the moderation of soc.religion.islam: mnorazmi@ndcheg.cheg.nd.edu (Norazmi Mat Noh) zam@ATHENA.MIT.EDU sammy@harvard.harvard.edu (Sammy Akhmad) woods@ncar.UCAR.EDU (Greg Woods) ins_arm@JHMAIL.HCF.JHU.EDU:ins_arm@ (Roslan Mozaki) Lastly, werner@rascal.ics.UTEXAS.EDU (Werner Uhrig) suggested that Padraig Houlahan and I act as moderators of the group. I decline the suggestion, out of principle. The following people opposed the moderation of soc.religion.islam or favored the creation of the group as an *initially* undmoderated forum, as per my suggestion. dorai@rice.edu (Dorai Sitaram) sohan+@andrew.cmu.edu (Sohan C.
