I think that before people judge the comp.sys.amiga group to be too high
in volume, they should keep in mind that there is NO effective sources
group for the Amiga.  All the sources are therefore posted to the
discussion group, as well as the discussion.  This is why the volume is
so high.  If a working sources group was set up, the moderated one
is a well known black hole, then people would use it; people who only
wanted to see discussion, but not get massive source files would no
longer be inconvienenced.  
	Please don't moderate comp.sys.amiga.  I know the person who
moderates mod.amiga.  And he definantly could do it if he had too, but it is 
really too much to expect any 1 person with moderate a discussion group
with the popularity of comp.sys.amiga.  
	[insert arguments about unreliability of moderated groups here]

	So, why not get the sources stuff working, and then see what
the volume is like before condeming the group to death.
