 OK, at this point -- I'm leaning toward a NO vote.  Your 
 use of the word "anathema" suggests a religious tone which 
 would make this group unusable unless moderated. 
  
 I acknowledge that the views of the proponent as to the 
 topics covered by a group are completely irrelevant unless 
 encapsulated in the charter, but this leads me to the 
 conclusion that no r.p.d.* group could survive unmoderated.

 I think I've got the problem resolved, but, if you E-mail me 
 and it bounces, a second try might work. 
 However, please reply in newsgroup.
