They'll probably ask -- why not instead propose a rec.audio.pro.moderated
newsgroup? With a moderated newsgroup, you'll have something RAP can't: an
enforcement of the charter.

I would suport RAP becoming a moderated newsgroup, as long as the
moderator/s pledged to enforce the Charter in a Fair and Balanced manner.

But considering the traffic here it would be an awfully big commitment
to
take on, and there would be numbnuts playing hit and run, they'd get banned
and
then use anonymous remailers...

But all this is OT political traffic taking up bandwidth is probably
going
to recede after the election. After all, if Bush is reelected and Roger
moves
to Vietnam (as he has suggested he will), Internet access there is likely so
slow that he will be writing fewer, and *much* shorter posts... g

I don't think so. I think this is actually a reaction to 9/11. People feel
jammed up about the event and somehow have come to the conclusion that a
newsgroup is a good place to dump their ****. They are wrong, btw, but they
still have a lot of unprocessed **** and this newsgroup is the unfortunate
pot they've decided to dump in.

The political issues are just laxatives for the real deal. As has been proven
before many times, "Ugly Americans" are everywhere.

Sincerely,
