Some readers in these newsgroups may be familiar with aus.legal, and be
interested in a proposal to resurrect aus.legal.moderated.
Lack of regulation is precisely the appeal of newsgroups. Killfile
people if you want their posts to be invisible.
Any views about the proposal are welcome.
Details posted on 02/02/2010 in aus.legal and aus.net.news -
"This moderated newsgroup has not operated for some time.  It seems that
the
moderators have abandoned it.  Background to the newsgroup is here -
http://aus.news-admin.org/groupinfo.cgi/aus.legal.moderated/.  I have not
been able to contact the named moderators or the owner/operator of the
named
server.
I would like to try to resurrect it, as an alternative/addition to
aus.legal.  The reasons for that are -
1    to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in aus.legal;
2    my own interest in Usenet, the moderation process, and aus.legal.
Any views about resurrecting the moderated group are welcome.  I am willing
to be a moderator.  Any views about that are welcome.  Any views about
other
moderators are also welcome.  
No-one who posts follow-ups inappropriately should ever think of being a
moderator.
Agreed, I've always said that those who CAN, contribute to
newsgrroups. Those who CAN'T, moderate newsgroups. There's
something in that for all of us.

What does thinking have to do with it?
What refreshing honesty!
Self-praise is no recommendation.
Well, any views on the matter are welcome!"
