Certainly libalous material should be moderated, but 'drivel' is not really that important. Someones drivel is another persons research area. From my understanding of the stargate project, the bandwidth would be pretty reasonable & the pickup cheap (hook into local cable net, right?). So what it 2Mb moves through this every day? Each site can save the groups it wants to and nix the ones it doesn't want. Like wise, perhaps the news software will improve to allow people to deal with a large volume of mail.
