Much of current USENET traffic is truly USEless: trash, tripe, gossip,
misinformation, repeated requests, ad nauseum.  I look forward to reduced
volumes of swill arriving each day and to moderation of even that traffic.
Very little of what we discuss needs to travel so fast that moderation will
hurt the discussion.

Note that transmission of fewer newsgroups or moderation of same is quite
likely on USENET-by-phone, let alone by satellite, since at least one
backbone site is finding the escalating phone bills unjustifiable.
And this will happen by fiat, not by voting.
