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.
