While we are on the subject, why not have a mod.flame. Net.flame is too full of repeated long dragged out discussions. Mod.flame would give a lower volume sample of things people flame about. chongo <*smYle*> /\--/\ -- ~ Why not make UN*X source be public domain? ~ J. Alton 84'

/***** ea:net.news.group / nsc!chongo / 4:56 pm Oct 18, 1984 */ While we are on the subject, why not have a mod.flame. Net.flame is too full of repeated long dragged out discussions. Mod.flame would give a lower volume sample of things people flame about. chongo <*smYle*> /\--/\ -- ~ Why not make UN*X source be public domain? ~ J. Alton 84' /* ---------- */ Ok - who do I apply to to start moderating (unmoderate? domoderate?) mod.flame? Gee, just think - a flame list with no rational discussions, no celtic stuff (a disjoint set from rational discussions), no politiking, no nuking, etc. Come to think of it, mod.jokes might not be a bad idea, either. To censor out the jokes that have appeared before, and *only* to censor such jokes. Said person could also make sure any offensive jokes were rotated [which means in practice rotate everything that moves]. He would *not* censor jokes because they were "not funny", or were "offensive". <mike
