[I forgot to include the article, but this is in response to the person
who said that they oppose all moderated groups and voted no to this
proposal.]

I don't generally like moderated groups either, but I'd like to comment
on this proposal.  I've been on Thomas' mailing list for over a year
and he really has done a great job.  Newcomer questions are encouraged
(and answered), all points of view (tubes vs solid state, LP vs CD
etc) have been represented and no one has been flamed.  Further, the
variety of topics has been extrordinary: construction hints, reviews
of audio shows, record reviews and lots of input from "off-shore"
participants.  I think the only real point in having a moderated group
is to facilitate exchange between the on-going mailing list and the
proposed newsgroup.

I urge you to reconsider your "No" vote (and join us "on the fringe!")
