 I'd say forget it:  after all the problems on rec.photo.digital with 
 spammers, trolls, and psychos, the last thing the rec.photo hierarchy needs 
 is another UNMODERATED group. 
  
 And I really hope no one starts up with that knee-jerk "learn how to use 
 filters, newbie" bulls**t:   Lots of people, myself included, know how to 
 use filters.  The problems is that there are many knowledgeable 
 photographers who don't know how to use filters, don't want to learn how to 
 use them, and will leave a newsgroup when the signal-to-noise ratio drops 
 significantly.  Yeah, that's right--the very people who would keep the 
 newsgroup fresh and interesting will be among the first to leave when the 
 inevitable troll crap starts. 
  
 If you really want to start up another unmoderated photo group, you might as 
 well call it  rec.photo.digital.cesspool2, because that's what it will be in 
 no time at all.
