I am in general support with concern for the fidonet.
little node shall not be penalized to carry more group than it need, 
or forced to make the decision which group to carry, consider 
fidonet is the backbone of the r.a.a. I think this is important.

but if this question can be address, here is my comment for the rest

> 	rec.arts.anime.info will be a "Moderated" newsgroup.  The

support 100%

> 	following kinds of postings will be allowed in

> 	- Lists (voice actor list, CD list, subbed/dubbed list, etc...)
> 	- Informational postings ("How to take care of your cels", etc...)
> 	- Summary articles of magazines like Animedia,

> 	- Reviews
> 	- Industry, con, and club announcements
> 	- Any other anime-related news ("Kikuchi and Asamiya seen together!")

where is "SYNOPSIS"?  which is LEGAL compare to script. 

I myself will put script under Info, ambiguity of it doesn't
mean it is illigal.

agree 100%
but to the new r.a.a.misc

the argument that fidonet has access and thus my reason for against it
is non-issue, since the issue is fido-net pay to get news, and they
have to make choice because of the extra group.

support 100%, no person is in better position to do it than the 
holder of the FAQ. 

> Attentive readers may have noticed by now the lack of any mention of

GIF is too big to be include in a newsgroup, they shall not be carry 
in r.a.a. period, 

however, I will recommend the following,

r.a.a.marketplace

buy, sell, trade, product announcement, con announcement, 

(consider how polarised the last two can be, r.a.a.info shall be unbiased, 
and thus above it)

r.a.a.creative

fanfic
It need its place, and it is high cost, to make it in the same group as
the old r.a.a. does not solve the old problem. 

r.a.a.misc

the old r.a.a. shall be rmgroup and replace by this.
I heistant to include r.a.a.advocacy, because then there will be nothing  
in r.a.a.misc :)

those people and you are among the top poster of raa, in a way I am glad
that you will be doing it, because n.g. will surely be troublesome, 
if you REALLY want to do it you will have to WORK for it all the way
to the end, be prepare for it, when push come to shove I will put my 
vote behind you.
