So there you have it; my usenet philosophy. You may or may not agree,
but there it is. I respect your right to your views, and I trust you
respect mine.

Fair enough. Since I've moderated and co-moderated several moderated groups
I've sometimes have had no choice in reading through all posts to a group.
It's a fascinating experience to try to learn how to diplomatically reject
posts that are inflammatory, off topic, or otherwise outside the group's
charter. I always took it as a challenge to see if I could get a reasonable
re-write or understanding response to rejections. Obviously it wasn't
always possible (but gratifying when things worked out). I like to think I
learned something from the experience, but some days I feel I haven't.
