	First, a monitor is NOT the same as a moderator. A moderator recieves
and ok's all postings in a group. A monitor reads all postings in a group and
sends mail to the authors of those he feels are inappropriate...

	Second, I feel that net.{politics, flame, etc} ARE too large to 
be useful. They are NOT too large to monitor.
