"asente@Cascade.ARPA," I am sorry.  I -- probably like many others --
agreed but didn't say so.  I think both of your ideas are good, though
I think the second (moderated groups and a net.mod-complaints) is more
practical than the first.  I would really like to see all of the
non-technical groups -- maybe with the exception of net.general or
net.misc (which I would not read :-)) -- go to moderated groups.  That
means no non-moderated net version. (Mod.sources *looks* like a
failure only because net.sources still exists and people post there
rather than to mod.sources.)

I used to read many non-technical groups, but have started to drop
them (personally) one by one. (Every 2 or 3 months someone in
net.startrek brings up the question of whether the transporter can be
sueed to duplicate people or recreate them when they are old.  The
discussion about admirals vs. commodores in the military is still
going on.  And in almost every other group we can read "answers" to
questions that start off "Well, I really don't know but I seem to
think that I kind of remember....")
