 Basically this is just another way of suggesting "split the wreck," a 
 proposal that has been suggested many times before and roundly 
 excoriated each time some self important, know-it-most newbie proposes 
 it by the regular users of the Wreck. I have no expectations but that 
 it will be scuttled yet again.

 Frankly, other than the fact that the proposed moderator(s) apparently 
 can't keep up with the Wreck traffic (see highlighted area above), I 
 couldn't care less if they want to take their dolls and...er, start a 
 new newsgroup. I do think they need to delete all (TM)'ed references, 
 such as "the Wreck,"  "jummy wood," and "klown hammer" or any 
 derivatives or diminuitives in their activities. Most real Wreckers 
 won't want to have any association with "wreck liters" (TM, here and 
 now).

 I suggest an email alias of vito@pantiesinawad.com in order to conform 
 with the "truth in advertising" concept.
