A very good point.  If someone chooses to moderate such a newsgroup or mailing
list, it should be noted that the job is NOT just sorting out ads and posting
them anonymously.  It is also receiving the mail for all the anonymous ads
from potential "suitors", sorting them out, and ANONYMOUSLY (without having
looked at them????) sending them on to the original posters of the ads.
