Well, what's the moderators job then? There was the time, when comp.binaries.
ibm.pc was unmoderated, and almost closed down for it's volume. Now, we seem
to have a sort of an 'automated moderater' who has a script to get the biggest
files from Simtel and post them immediatly to the group without even
adding a line saying that it is a communication package. Does he really
expect me to load all the garbage down just to find out I don't have use to
it, because I don't need such a program at the moment?

What's the difference between completely uncommented postings and an un-
moderated news group with its high noise level? BTW., remember the good
reviews by Rahul?
