   I find the IN MODERATION network somewhat distasteful. I can see
the point that what subscribers are paying for is the services of
an editor, and the production of a flame-free, coherent, and relevant
feed. But what those editors start from are articles originally posted
for free distribution. It is even possible that some of those articles
might be mine.
   I don't mind sharing my articles. But I OBJECT to someone other than
myself making a profit from my intellectual efforts.
   So I have designed myself a new .signature, which I think will stop
the IN MODERATION people from including my articles in their feed. I
do not know if the wording will give legitimate USENET readers any
problems. Can anyone out there advise, or give a better wording?
   Thanx
