Oh puhleeze. Moderation is not the answer. I enjoy getting articles more
than once a week.

a .newuser group, like news...newuser is a perfect solution: it offers
those with a burning "where can i get raytracing references" question
what they really want: instant gratification.

Educating novive graphics users or even those suspected of being graphics
users is probably the single most important thing this group can do, and
I see this as the most expedient method of accomplishing that goal.
