Biologists Lines: 17 Recently, news.admin has contained messages in it that would make a mud throwing contest seem civilized. Most of it has stemmed from the discussion of Portal. Many have pointed out that the need for nettiquette. I suggest that moderation is the ultimate fulfillment of that need. The moderation would be of the losest level, since news.admin can harbor a broad variety of discussions. (One could argue that this, in itself is a problem, but I won't). I simply want to keep the conversation civilized. If no one else, I will volenteer to moderate. Note this is a call for discussion. If there is sufficient interest, I'll call for votes.
