re: the flap about moderated groups, stargate; at best, hercules and others are overreacting, and i think it is rather childish to even propose let along carry out some of the things he proposes. it is true that any sort of editing or moderating is implicit censorship, but if the moderators are people of good will, nothing evil is apt to happen. THAT is why i proposed that all the moderators (probably a thankless job anyhow) should be ELECTED and subject to recall by a vote of confidence. i think that answers any real concern about a certain mythical "clique" taking over the net. btw, how much, mr. hercules, do you pay, personally, for net access? STILL optimistic, ernie harkins
