- Sounds good. Newsgroups moderated by human beings sooner or later end up
- running into problems (see rec.humor.funny or comp.sources.mac).
- Newsgroups moderated by a deamon only run into problems if something goes
- wrong with the host the deamon runs on.
-
- Any volunteer to host such a deamon on his/her machine? I won't step
- forward because it would not be reasonable to have a machine in Europe
- as moderator host if 95% of the messages come from the US.
