I am 100% FOR the creation of comp.binaries.os2 but 100% AGAINST
having it moderated. Anyone who has been watching the current
situation in comp.binaries.ibm.pc has seen just how much time
and resources it takes to actually be a moderator of a high-volume
binaries newsgroup and there aren't a lot of people who plain
have the time and resources. My main reason for being against
moderation is the bottleneck it creates. Rahul has a 4-6 week
backup of binary postings due to testing and packing delays.

Sites that don't want to handle the traffic of an unmoderated
binaries group are free not to carry it.
