So your solution is to de facto take away the moderated group, by
effectively de-moderating it?

Please be advised that unless you have the consent of the moderator for this,
which I've seen no indication of, utzoo reserves the right to discard such
falsely-moderated messages.  We strongly support the moderated groups and do
not want to see them destroyed by holier-than-thou bozos who believe it is
their God-given right to post anywhere they please.

If you think that an unmoderated group deserves to exist on a particular
topic, start one.  A newsgroup, not a mailing list.  Carried on your own
uucp links, not the existing backbone, so that *YOU* are paying for it.
Piss in your own soup, not everyone else's.

(Among your other services to the community, you've probably delayed the
release of C News a little bit, because Geoff and I need to put our heads
together on what can be done about better security for moderated groups.)
