This is a terrible idea!  comp.std.unix is one of the best newsgroups
on the net.  The moderation seems to help a great deal.  The overall
signal/noise ratio is very high and the group is not flooded with
flame wars.

I don't know who to write and express my opinion, but I do want to
protest.  What does comp.std.unix cost per Usenix member?  I would
be happy to kick in my share.
