 Actually, I feel for you....
 
 One of the reasons I elected to not elist a newsgroup or new echo. I just
 don't have the free time to do a good job of moderating or want to get
 too involve in getting it distributed or going thru the hassles or
 politics in keeping it smooth.
 
 Please don't take things the wrong way. I do see their point that we
 want to be above the rest in terms of content and not volume. 
 
 The way I am doing things here, I don't have to moderate anything.
 Others can areafix it just like an echo with no major changes to their
 systems. I don't claim to be an expert as to what is good or bad in
 newsgroups. But I am willing to try new things or suggestions just
 to keep things interesting and fresh.
 
 No doubt having the support of a distribution system helps. But now a
 days we can get it out to just about any one via the internet with
 programs like IREX. Better yet, cut out the middleman and just gated
 it directly from your provider if you can acess their news server.
