		**THIS LINE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK**

If mod.general works the way I think it will work (that is, users will
mail their desired post to some central site, and some demagogue will
decide if it's appropropriate to post and do so if it is), then it seems
that postings will take at least twice as long to make it to the net.
One of the best things about electronic bboards is their spontaneity--
issues remain current due to the speed of transmission.  It looks like
this would be lost on mod.general.  And who is this demagogue, anyway?
