I  propose  that we create net.worthwhile, a newsgroup for only articles
worth reading.

I believe that the only way to handle it would be with a moderator,  and
I  propose the following scheme (although others are certainly possible,
such as regional moderators, or newsgroup set  moderators.   I  am  sure
there  will  be  some worthless articles flaming about why newsgroup set
moderating is better that chronological, but it should not be posted  to
net.worthwhile, as some people have better things to do than ignore such
trash).

I would like to set up a moderation schedule  in  which  moderators  are
responsible for a couple days worth of netnews, on a rotating basis.

As  a  flame retardant, please note that this would increase the load on
the net by only a very very very small amount.
