While we are on the subject, why not have a mod.flame.  Net.flame is
too full of repeated long dragged out discussions.  Mod.flame would
give a lower volume sample of things people flame about.

Ok - who do I apply to to start moderating (unmoderate? domoderate?) mod.flame?
Gee, just think - a flame list with no rational discussions, no celtic
stuff (a disjoint set from rational discussions), no politiking, no nuking,
etc.

Come to think of it, mod.jokes might not be a bad idea, either. To censor
out the jokes that have appeared before, and *only* to censor such jokes.
Said person could also make sure any offensive jokes were rotated [which
means in practice rotate everything that moves]. He would *not* censor jokes
because they were "not funny", or were "offensive".
