I am willing to moderate mod.jokes.  (I volunteered a year or so
ago, but was told that there already was a moderator who was
going to start "soon".)  I would not post any joke that I had
already heard or read ANYWHERE, unless I was fairly certain that
most subscribers hadn't also heard it.

Would many people submit jokes to a moderator?  I am skeptical,
but there's only one way to find out.  Well, maybe two ways.
Readers are invited to mail me answers to the following
questions:  (If your first two answers are both "no", don't bother!)

1. Do you read net.jokes?
2. Would you read mod.jokes?
3. If mod.jokes existed, would you stop reading net.jokes?
4. Have you ever posted a joke to net.jokes?
5. If mod.jokes existed, would you send jokes there instead?

Optional extra credit questions:
6. Are the moderating guidelines of the first paragraph acceptable?
7. Should "canonical collections" also be posted periodically?
8. (R.P. Feynman memorial) Write your own question, and answer it.
