Why do you go around telling other people what to do? If you want anarchy and like reading junk, then continue to read net.motss. I don't see how mod.motss hurts you as long as net.motss exists. Clearly there are people who want it, for someone took the trouble to create it and moderate it. I even see people post to it, this might mean people read it too. mod.motss seems to fill a demand, why can't you let it be? If it stops filling a need that will become apparent too and then you can remove it. Meanwhile, I think it's a good idea. Who's the facist here anyway? -- Phil Ngai (408) 982-6554 UUCPnet: {ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra,intelca}!amd!phil ARPAnet: amd!phil@decwrl.ARPA
