You mean...this "In Moderation" stuff was *SERIOUS*?  I thought it was a 
carefully-crafted but late April Fool's joke.  Darn...and it looked so 
subtle too.  I was sure it was a commentary on how the public is served 
so much better by networks such as Usenet that provide direct access to so many 
human resources, without editing or censorship, compared to the stuff 
you get in your newspaper (which you must select by political 
viewpoint!) or (gurk...choke...) television news program.
