By whom, Mr. Webber?  I have proof (email) that the majority of people prefer
having only moderated sources groups.  The MAJORITY, defined as > 50%, not
something you can argue around.  If you'd like I'll mail you my collected
email and some statistics.  (82K mail file, mostly short messages)

If, as it seems, you are in the minority, then you have no right to screw
the rest of the net over with this bypass-the-moderator-as-I-please non-
sense.  Most of the net will probably respond by hacking inews to reject
your postings or similar responses -- this being reserved for the most
obnoxious individuals.
