So what?  It really doesn't appear that they are "accepting" very
much of anything these days, or at least if they are, it's not
coming back out.

   Seriously, the drought of stuff coming out of 
comp.{source|binaries}.amiga is getting serious.  I appreciate the
problems of work load and not being able to get through stuff, but
come on, guys.  If you can't or don't want to take on the burden anymore,
then let's say so and either call for volunteers or make the groups 
unmoderated.

   For my part, I'd rather see them stay moderated.  I've looked at
other unmoderated sources groups, and I think the quality is better here.
BUT, if it's a choice of having it unmoderated, or not having anything
in the group for lack of moderators time, then let's unmoderate it.

   Peter, you made a comment a short while ago to the effect that
you were no longer interested in moderating it because of the negative
reaction you got when you volunteered before.  I think that if you reflected
on the circumstances, you might find them different now than they were
before.  I, for one, would like to encourage you to reconsider.
