However, what you've failed to consider is that having a moderator also
helps protect in whatever slight way the net from sending along a virus.
In addition, those groups were voted to be moderated groups.

If someone would like to consider unmoderated groups, then take it to
news.groups or some other appropriate place.

Until then, this group is for discussion.  The binaries group is for
binaries.  The sources group is for sources.

Seems easy enough to me.

Follow-ups directed to news.groups where they belong.
