Yes, I did.  I noticed my error right after posting, but didn't take the trouble
to cancel the article.  Even so, four net.sources.mac users complained that in
using moderated groups in the past, articles they sent to moderators have been
returned and down-right lost by the mailers.  I thought this was significant
enough to warrant a post.

In my brevity, I forgot to mention that I am a supporter of moderation of
newsgroups.  In past article I asked net.sources.mac users why they object to
moderation.  This is the origin of the list of arguments.  My intent was to gain
information on why some people dislike moderated groups, and try to find ways to
mend their dislikes.  Moderation done properly might save Usenet.
