From: utzoo!watmath!watcgl!dmmartindale Newsgroups: net.misc Title: Re: Moderated newsgroups Article-I.D.: watcgl.215 Posted: Mon Feb 28 15:01:13 1983 Received: Tue Mar 1 02:00:26 1983 References: vortex.28 Another problem I've seen often with people around here is that in one day I will see a burst of half-a-dozen followups posted by one person to a variety of articles which have come in over the past week and have already been followed up by many others. Obviously, he/she hasn't read news for a week, and isn't waiting 'till they've read everything before posting followups. A moderator can overcome problems due to lack of thinking as well as network latency. But who will ever volunteer to moderate something as voluminous as net.misc?
