This of course is my opinion. Elliot said that the vote showed that people do not wish to have "news.admin" moderated (or as he put it "touched, so please leave it alone"). But Elliot, that was then, this is now. Now people will have a choice. They will now have a place to discuss whats going on in "news.admin". They can do it in "news.admin.d". Of course this means that those who enjoyed posting junk to "news.admin" will do it to "news.admin.d", rather than "news.misc", but thats why I voted "YES" for the moderation of "news.admin" in the first place; to get that junk out of "news.admin" and hopefully into "news.misc" where (in my opinion) I felt it belonged. But if voting yes to "news.admin.d" is the only way I can help get "news.admin" moderated, then I will vote yes. When and if a vote is called for, that is. BTW, if a certain person at my node reads this posting within minutes after my Netpost, please don't come to me and tell me I'm wrong. I'm just stating MY opinion, and not the opinions of my employer, or anyone else. :) Nelson
