  I have to agree here.   Not only is there a fairly 
 good history of "on topic" postings, but, very few flame 
 wars (and I have been a part of BOTH).  It is generally a 
 good resource for WW discussion and information. 
  As for moderation...I think the REAL problem is that 
 moderating a news group is a big job under the best circumstances 
 and, for a high volume group such as this could well be a 
 FULL TIME job.   Anybody want to take that on?
