But the same rules should apply to them! For example, there have been no demonstrated volume of postings on gould bugs, nor a demonstrated need for them. Therefore, no need for a group to carry them. It seems that the mod groups are legitimate for creation, by virtue of the fact that they are moderated. I suggest that mod groups go through the same criteria for creation that the regular groups do. -- It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under.
