Whenever you try to make one thing masquerade as something it's not, whether it has to do with computers or with cutlery, people are going to be fooled. A group with the name "mod.xxx" should have a moderator, and many (most) of these ARPAnet groups do not have moderators. -- Brian Reid decwrl!glacier!reid Stanford reid@SU-Glacier.ARPA
