The last thing the net needs is another moderated group.

Doug's being his usual, overreactive self.  He just can't
bear to send a little email pointing to the FAQ or even
a copy of it, even though it takes ~20 keystrokes[*] in most
rn implementations to start mail, enter the editor, include
the FAQ, write the temporary file, exit the editor, send
the message, and go on to the next posting.

And he obviously doesn't remember having to ask the questions
that others now ask.
