Why isn asd moderated?
A12 Because no-one’s bothered to set up a moderated version of asd. Feel free to do so. I suggest you read “So You Want to Create an Alt Newsgroup” by Dave Barr. It’s available in news.answers, together with lots of other good stuff on where to post what, what not to post anywhere, and how to write what you post everywhere. BTW, setting up a moderated asd will not detract from asd, just add a slow response version for the timid, the censorious and the humourless.
