I'll admit I prefer the usenet to the moderated Yahoo groups. Some
moderators
are little tin pinhead lesser gods.

Net.nannies fulfill the same function here. Fortunately they have
no authority.

I personally don't like the "rowdy environment of usenet" but I do
believe
in the freedom of being able to post anything, and my freedom to
access all
opinions, even if 90% of them are crap. I don't like a moderator - or
a kill
file, for that matter - making decisions what I will and what I won't
read.
I am happy to scan across even scores of useless posts.

It is far easier to hear interesting ideas through all the crap than
it is to find interesting ideas in moderated settings.

i'm not sure which moderated settings you have gone to..............

in general, only vitriol and nutzo's and spammers are 'moderated' from those forums, and open ADULT discussions are more than welcome

well, in the forums i go to at least :D
