     My own two cents...

     Why do we need to have this group moderated? People write that a 
moderator would be there to correct errors <maybe> and question what
one might mean in a statement. To me, that doesn't seem like enough to
show the need for a moderator.
     Under what circumstances would a moderator of this group not post
an article <with the exception of those articles that would not be related
to movies whatsoever>? If I write an article regarding some aspect of a
movie could I expect it to be returned if the moderator didn't consider
it to be serious enough?
     Don't get me wrong! I'm in favor of the group and am not trying to
trash someone. I just don't see the need for a moderator. I just feel
that those who want to continue to post articles about BTTFII and
Hoverboard will continue to do it in r.a.m and those who want to discuss
the technical and artistic aspects will include r.a.m.s in their daily
reading.
