Herewith a modest proposal:

Due to the increased volume of postings and what seems to be less and less
"news" time,  I'm not able to keep up with all the groups I used to.  I'm
sure that there are new groups with interesting discussions taking place as
well.  And, I'll bet that other people have the same problem I do -- so
many groups, so little time.

I propose that a new group be formed, the purpose to be a simple posting
area for pointers to interesting discussions.  The question is whether
this should be a moderated group (keeps duplicate postings pointing to
the same discussion from flooding the group) or whether we should
hope that people simply don;t abuse the group.  I'd like to propose
that it be unmoderated initially, and (if felt useless due to flooding),
a vote be held in the future (say, six months after creation) to 
determine whether it should go moderated.
