Lines: 25 USENET GODS: I am a simple reader and occasional poster. I have experienced a large amount of trash and I don't appreciate the posters of it. I *do* express a great deal of intrepidation at the thought of moderation of this open forum. I can see the need for something (a fluff filter) but before you commit to a plan of action, can you inform us, the users of the net just what kind of 'moderation' we can expect. Also, at this site in western ny we get absurd traffic such as San Fransisco's and NJ yumyum and other mis-sent stuff. Perhaps net traffic can be reduced by keeping local nets *local*. I feel its unfortunate that Mr. Adrian came on so strong and I think you all do a very good job. I do not flame him though--I'm sure that emotion got the better of judgement.
