	I disagree.  What they are giving us is more contributors.

	How, you ask?  Think about it.  Currently there are a number 
of groups that I would read if I had more time or if their flow was
lighter.  I doubt that I am alone.  If their were a moderated feed
of those groups I might be able to read them.  I might even have
observations to make.  And when I did post I would try to produce
material of the same quality as the feed I was getting.  So, as long
as people reading news via In Moderation are still posting to the
net in general (not explicitly stated, but something I infer from the
announcement) then the *service*, by its existence, is adding to both
the quality and quantity of Usenet.

	Now then, does anyone know if they need any more moderators?  I
could use a part-time job doing something that I enjoy...
