- Now that the moderators have stated their platforms, the prospect of
- simply making sci.physics into a moderated group seems a whole lot less
- threatening than it did at first.
-
- A straw poll: taking the promised platforms at their face value, just
- how many people here would feel that their rights were being
- unacceptably trampled if sci.physics was simply turned into a moderated
- group?
-
- No sense giving up a nice monicker like sci.physics if it turns out
- that this will benefit only a miniscule minority.
