If we want a more general newsgroup?? I think that the volume of glove-list is enough to maintain a comp.periphs.glove group, and cluttering with irrespective material will be rather harmful. Moderation?? I don't care too much, since I can select what to read with the newsreader I use. I agree that moderation is useful, though. (I'm on Eunet's borderline, and only the comp. hierarchy arrives here unschatched.) The gyus that aren't on the Internet/uucp and cannot get news are going to be hurt badly. Do we want such a thing??? alt. hierarchy?? Forget it. We don't get alt.sex.*, so we shall not get glove-related material either ;-) ;-) ;-) Greetings, and have a nice day, Nick. (WOW!!
