I agree three.
I'll probably lose interest in it if it gets moderated. Personally
I don't like throwing things at a moderator -- Kind of removes the
spirit of a posting if it is first "judged" or otherwise "screened" --
I think (no offense) that Rich $alz's pithy "comments" at the beginning
of some postings would otherwise discourage some people from posting.
Take the "bozo.c" source posted here -- God knows what Rich or
some other moderator would do to me or others for posting some
of the versions of that little ditty :)
People who get all bent-out-of-shape at one or two non-source postings
need to lighten up. IMHO the group is doing great (so far). A mild
flame directed at someone who infarc's should suffice. We simply don't need
another moderated source group.
