hmm, if there is really someone *ACTIVELY* promoting this, I sure would like
to know who, and where this is being discussed so that I can have my say.
Of course, I know of people with such inclinations, but would not expect
they would even consider to insult participants in such an active group
with "faits-accomplits" without a good discussion.  Don't let me down,
guys ....

when we started net.micro.mac and when we revived INFO-MAC later, there was
absolutely *NO WAY* that the INFO-MAC moderator was willing to deal with the 
additional USENET traffic.  Personally, I like moderated groups and prefer
the wading through digests to wading through random contributions, but if
the experience with mod.mac.* is any indication I worry about where we will
find a moderator with the time and dedication to handle this difficult
job of moderating a very active group like this ...
