Other than the current PDP-11/55 problem, I am not enthusiastic about a
moderated group yet.  Ideologically I don't like censorship and practically
I don't have time to be moderator.

I have a suggestion about dealing with the PDP-11/55 problem.  Whenever
someone posts something totally irrelevant to comp.os.minix, could everyone
please send the poster e-mail politely informing him or her of their
displeasure.  If a poster gets 12,000 pieces of e-mail at each transgression,
it may make an impression.
