It's a very clever feint, insuring that no one will take any effort to moderate the group, by raising the specter of what could happen if the Supreme Ruler were to abuse his authority. This way, Kunich, the past master of digression, pre-empts any attempts to rein him or us all in, and shows that he is truly a Defender of Freedom. Because only by threatening to destroy freedom can we save it.
It's positively Karl Rovian in its fiendish ingenuity. All hail KUNICH, for he is the master of bureaucratic warfare, of a subtlety that even Verbruggen could not aspire to.

I think that we need the group to be moderated or else we'll just lose it to the nutjobs.
rec.bicycles.racing used to be a great group but it has really run downhill.
I'd be willing to moderate the group if you wouldn't mind a 2 day delay over weekends. Or maybe someone else can act as co-moderator?
Moderation sure worked for rec.bicycles.off-road.

This is an excellent idea. Let Kunich moderate rbr so that rbr will finally die completely. Then we can think about a closed access list allowing for only cycle racing news and discussion with another list for doping discussion once that issue is raised on the first list.

This has to be someone spoofing Tom. Can you imagine what a gruop moderated by TK would be like? The horror of it all.

What's wrong with the existing one, [email hidden]?
I could go for this with Howard as comoderator as long as they both have the ability to approve any post, but I'd rather keep the responsibility on the individual. If you don't want to read it, then don't. There are enough tools out there to limit the noise to whatever you want. Personally I'm willing to live with the noise because since Vern left, other than some CP meltdowns, it's been content oriented, not just masturbating to personal abuse in public. Bill C
