I agree with everything that Mathew said in his post, most importantly, with
the items that I quote above.  The only thing that I would like to add, is 
that I do not think that the group should be moderated.  I have been reading
comp.sys.handhelds for over a year, and except for a few requests for asc,
and a few requests to be unsubscribed from the mailing list, there hasn't been
a single post that I would have liked some moderator to reject for me. I bet
that a lot of people feel this way.
