This is definitely worth pursuing.  The idea is similar to that of a
peer-reviewed journal, with its Board of Editors.  As frustrated as i have
been with the slowness in comp.sources.unix, my sympathies lie with Rich;
this is an enormous amount of work for one busy professional to be doing in
his/her fleeting spare moments (thanks, Rich!).  I don't know how any of the
source moderators do it.  It would indeed be better if we all stopped whining
and looked at new ways of doing things.  Given the loose organization of
the net, perhaps one source group adapting this structure would lead to
others following.
