The funny thing is that Rich promised some several months ago that if
the newsgroup suffered another dry spell, he'd resign.  I'd say it's
been suffering one hell of a dry spell and it's time for Rich to admit
that he can't do the job and resign as promised.  (Rich, no need to
wait for the net to elect a new moderator; nobody's going to notice any
difference when you resign -- as long as the moderator's address is
changed to /dev/null. :-( )

The people I don't understand are the Rabid Salz Defenders.  The
newsgroup has been next to worthless for well more than a year now.
How can they defend the job he's been doing?  One may like the guy
personally, fine, but please recognize that he's been doing nothing,
effectively, for comp.sources.unix for a long time.
