Interesting.  I've been involved in Usenet discussion groups since I
was running a B-News 2.10 and later INN (InterNetNews) server in 1985.
What attracted me to Usenet, as opposed to BBS (bulletin board
service) type discussion systems, was the limited use of moderation
and the general lack of censorship.  It was easy to recognize the
first signs of censorship, such as this discussion on what is
considered appropriate topics for discussion, such as personal
shifting preferences.  Such discussions usually ended quickly after
the participants recognized that they were engaging in a form of
censorship.  Please try not to become part of the problem.
