From now on, I will vote FOR any group which is not moderated and AGAINST
any group that is - and I encourage others to consider doing the same.

Actually, I'm not going to do that at all.  But it's worth considering, 
just to counteract Werner's bullshit vote.

Instead I'm going to continue doing what I always do with newsgroup votes.
Determine if the group is of interest to me, and if not (like 
talk.politics.china) then I won't vote.  If it does interest me (like 
rec.music.newnewsgroup) then I'll vote depending on whether I think the
newsgroup should be created.

In other words I'll do what Werner won't be doing.  I'll be thinking.
