On the subject of moderation of this newsgroup, I am of the opinion that
much of the useful information is drown out by superfluous postings and
widgets (you know the ones "> soandso said thisandthat").  I guess I am
not really in favor of complete moderation after actually moderating on
the arpanet for a while.  It is very hard to judge what actually is
important and what is trash.  However, I really wish that some of the
people out there would take a little care with regard to what they post
on the net.  Many questions can be answered by reading the manual and in
many cases, only ONE answer is required.  Also, a message need not be
quoted in its entirety or AT ALL in many cases.  Furthermore, many
questions can be answered locally without posting to the net.

In short, let's try to moderate comp.sys.amiga by individually moderating
ourselves.  (I can hear the backbone administrators laughing from here..)

	Anyway, that's my $.02 for what it's worth,
