	Actually, this may well be a good idea, as long as it is
understood that we are talking about a monitor/policeman *not* a
moderator who has to pass on all postings.  In fact I might even be
willing to become the/a monitor for some group(such as net.origins
since I already read almost everything in it). Also, it should be
remembered that there might well be more than on monitor for
"large" groups, to sort of split up the load.
