I'm afraid I have to agree with Tim on this one.  It does clearly state
that moderation is only to be used "to ensure that off-charter attempts
to prosyletize are not posted."  That sounds exactly like a clear
statement of the use of moderation.

Sorry, its still no to talk.religion.pagan as a moderated newsgroup.  It
also seems to me, that there would be no need for a moderator as there
have been no problems lately on t.r.newage with prosyletizers which was
the whole reason this newsgroup was suggested.
