This is EXACTLY my rationale for having alt.*.conservative.* (it will likely be
alt.politics.conservative, to save the grief i'm getting about creating a new
hiearchy) be a moderated group.  I won't even bother adding anything to it,
since it was stated so well.

I haven't seen a comment yet explictly against the group, only against
moderation/unmoderation.  I think it's a go.  However, I NEED A MODERATOR IF
THIS GROUP IS GOING TO BE MODERATED.  I can't do it, since I don't have the
time and I'm only five months away from graduation anyway.  So I need someone
else to help.

Any volunteers?  Steven, you supported moderation.  Do you have the time to
give in service to our noble cause?  8-)
