USENET is not a democracy; it is an anarchy.  A democracy requires
some way of enforcing the will of the majority.  An anarchy requires
some to take responsibility for persuading others to do the right
thing, whatever that is.  Of course whoever tries to determine what
the right thing is and get it done will get as much gratitude as Mark
Horton seems to be getting.
