Since I'm new to News, I'm not familiar with Bill Wells or anyone else 
but it's clear that if this were to be an unmoderated news group, the 
anti-Objectivists would take over.  I really don't even understand why
they want to waste so much energy trying to disqualify the premises of
Rand's philosophy.  Why don't they start their own anti-Objectivist
newsgroup instead.  I would like the Objectivist newsgroup to be a 
positive discussion of Rand's ideas and not a bunch of people trying
to tell me that they're wrong, stupid, etc.  

The opponents of Objectivism _as a whole_ can have their own discussions.  I want to
deal with the Galts, Reardens, Wyatts, Hugh Axtons and Dagny  Taggarts
of the net, not the Mouches, Boyles and Jim Taggarts.

Yes to a moderated group.
