Default The end of R.A.H-E

2. Open the newsgroup.

In this proposal, rec.audio.high-end becomes unmoderated. Anyone
can post at any time on any subject. Spammers will likely run rampant,
and frequent flamewars between people who believe that they can hear
differences between certain things and people who believe that nobody
can hear those differences will dominate the non-spam content. (That's
just my opinion.)


At this point usenet is sufficiently depopulated that a couple of spam
filters seems to work pretty well. I don't read all that many usenet
groups these days, but the few I do are unmoderated and are still usable
(with a few entries in the killfile, of course)

I can't say I'll be heartbroken if RAHE goes away, but leaving it up and
running seems to be the best option.

Thanks a bunch to David for moderating all these years; I understand why
you are ready to move on.

I say set the group free and let it live or die on it's own rather than
killing it.
