I like it. But, unfortunately, I do think there needs to
be a moderator. It's not OT that's the real problem, it's the
jerks that OT post to provoke others. WTF are political
postings doing in this newsgroup anyway. If these folks want
a ****ing contest, I'm sure there are plenty of other groups
that would welcome the diatribe.

Note, I'm not really for censorship, but these ridiculous OT
posts have made me rethink that.

So, what' the procedure for starting a new group? If you need
help moderating, I'll volunteer.

You can learn how to create a new Usenet newsgroup at
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+%...isc.org&rnum=2.

I've been part of a newsgroup in the alt.* hierarchy for over a decade. It's a
NG that is often overrun by trolls and flamewars. Many times, people have said,
"We need a new, moderated newsgroup!" So we dutifully post the information on
new group creation and about moderation.

No one has ever stepped forward to begin that process. That's understandable,
given that it is a process that takes some time and is less than trivial. But
the information is at that URL, for anyone who'd like to check it out.
