"Designer newsgroups?"  What a concept!

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.
