I like the idea, but I am not thrilled with moderated groups. Moderation
tends to stifle free interchange of ideas (by bogging the discussion down
with moderation delay), not too mention the problem of finding a moderator
that has all that free time. I would propose creating an un-moderated
comp.graphics.research and if everyone's fears of "mutant image format
conversion junkies from hell" are realized by rampant cross posting, then
we could convert to moderated.

What do ya think?
