I am that very newbie of whom you speak, Doris.  Very impressed with the
Scarecrow-guy.  I thought, when the rec.arts.ascii group was being
debated, that his concept of what a moderator should be very much
matched my own [aaaargghh... disclaimer:  the Crow is a 'puter wizard,
whereas I had to have mine-- which I got ten months ago, hadn't even
been in the same room with one before that-- completely set up for my
completely ignorant self.]

But it already seems clear to me that there will have to be *some*
moderation, by and large, in the newsgroups, to deal with the infamous
"Make Money Fast", those creepy green card lawyers, etc.  I mean, there
are those whose main attraction to the Internet is the idea of abusing
it.

Furthermore, quoting the Swedish Chef:
