Please, tell me it isn't so! No, I am not worried about "censorship" or
other people controlling my messages, I am worried that every moderated
group on usenet is a friggin black hole. I am sure there is some statistical
equation to describe the chances that a message will make it to any point
on the net, especially to the moderators machine, and then make it out 
again. Frankly I think it is damn near zero. Has *any* moderated group 
on this network *ever* worked? Not that I know of, and why force umpty
ump thousand people to go with out any sort of information because one
site lost an RP06. My vote, if there is an ice cube's chance in hell 
that it will matter, is to keep two groups. One moderated and one not
moderated, that way there will at least be a backup group available.
