Review of activity on mod.ber-
				Wm Leler tektronix!wm

This group really just got started, so it is hard to tell how
things are going to turn out.  What is really needed is some
sort of cohesive style.  Reviews seem to range from factual
and objective, all the way to outright critiques of submissions.

A review of net.music seems to embody the factual approach --
a count of the number of articles compared with the same time
span one week earlier and a listing of the major topics of
discussion.

The review of net.flame by rabbitt!jj seems to strike a middle
ground  with quick capsule summaries of topics
punctuated with the reviewers opinion of the quality of
discussion.

Some reviewers are getting into a style of having one line
synopsies of most of the articles in a particular group
.  Most of these reviews have a blank line between
every line, as if excessive use of white space makes up for
the lack of style.

One review flaming because net.flame contains too many flames
and not enough facts and figures 

All in all, this group contains nothing new, just rehashing
of stuff in other groups :-)
