Re: *FAQ PLEASE READ* alt.sewing newsgroup FAQ

I was only commenting in the same way you were commenting, I think -- simply making a commentary on how Usenet is vastly different today than it was 10 years ago.

Unmoderated NGs are the way they've always been. For even the most minimally literate, engaging a news client with filters is enough to block all your so-called riff-raff. After all, you don't even have to know your way around regular expressions anymore to use a news reader or news client. Then again, some people would rather whine. It's only those who have a need to control what others say and think who insist on surveillance, censorship, and "policing". If Usenet is such a burden, surely you'll find relief in some heavily moderated forum where you'll only have to read points of view that match your own.
