I think that all the important objections to net.software.projects about
cluttering the lines with junk can be blown away by having the group moderated,
as I proposed before. The net may be cluttered, but if it can carry an un-
moderated trash group like net.bizarre or net.flame, then it can handle a
moderated group like mod.projects to actually perform a service to a number of
users. Networking is a great means to provide cooperation in projects indepen-
dent of physical distance, and this group would enhance the capabilities of the
network in the direction originally established. I think that we can bear the
weight!
