	Since when have we had to hide things from the host manager
	types, anyway.  Most of the administrator types I've known
	(and I've known a few) have been broad minded and would not
	consider interfering with freedom of information. 	

	I see no reason whatsoever for the protracted debate about
	the pros and cons of a newsgroup for gays.  Why not just
	call it net.gays?  That way new users wouldn't have to decipher
	"motss" to find the group.

	I really am astounded by all the negative comments on the
	formation of such a group.  When one considers the kind of
	esoteric groups that spring up from time to time on the net,
	it's probably about time there was a group for such a large
	population, anyway.  

	As for the media, I think it's far more likely we'd be criticized
	for halting the formation of such a group than for forming it.
