I'd like to suggest that this newsgroup/mailing list become unmoderated.
In all the time I've handled it, I've never rejected a message, so clearly
the submitters are doing their own quality control; and the delays/problems
in sending mail through here have driven some people batty.  What I'd like
to do is to set up the newsgroup as an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup with a
bidirectional mail gateway so that folks without access to Usenet can
join in the discussion.  This mail gateway would probably be on the west
coast at a well-connected machine--not here, in the backwaters of the
network.  Unless strong objections are voiced, I guess this is the way
I'll proceed; if you are not on Usenet and would like to receive the group
via mail drop me a line and I'll add your name to the gateway list.
Please--if you do receive the group via news, don't sign up for this;
the person handling the gatewaying is doing us all a favor, and I don't
want to explore the limits of their generosity.

Comments on all of this are very welcome.

Thanks,
Rich
