While Chuq has done an admirable job of defending mod.all in general, and mod.motss in particular, I again want to dispel the misconception that *.motss are in anyway "designed for" gay people, any more than "net.women" is "designed for" women. A news group has a stated topic, and *.motss have as their topic "gay issues." Naturally, gay people are going to be intersted in reading and contributing to these forums, but I emphasize that everyone is welcome to read and contribute, including Moffett and including Arndt, subject to the direction of the groups as stated in their first postings. -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
