	I have been a reader of sci.philosophy.tech for some time now, but
have never posted.  The recent proposal to create a moderated newsgroup for
Objectivism made me decide to post.  I will most emphatically vote against
the _moderated_ newsgroup for the same reasons as Mehul Dave.  An unmoderated
newsgroup is what is needed.
