I like the suggestion of restricted input (which is what net.women.only
was intended to be in the first place) but think that its been coupled
to closely with the idea of mail only.  There are moderated newsgroups
now (net.announce is moderated, as is mod.ber).  Maybe its time for the
women of the net to be forerunners by starting the first moderated
newsgroup for discussion (instead of announcement) purposes.  Anyone
interested in mod.women?  This group would be readable by everyone, but
the moderator would have to approve mesages for them to be posted to
the newsgroup.
