- }This is getting quite silly. There appear to be two (very vocal) groups,
- }one which wants Jonathan as the moderator of alt.answers, and one that,
- }well, disagrees. "Agreeing to disagree" is a very nice, alt-like situation,
- }but NOT one that ever, EVER works in the _same newsgroup_.
-
- Why do you say that? Has it ever been tried before? Some people said
- that self-moderation would never ever work, but it has.
-
- The only person who might legitimately *assert* that sharing the
- newsgroup would not work is Kamens.
-
- }It would be nice if we could have just one alt.answers
-
- Yes.
-
- }but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
-
- Maybe not to you; I think it's doable.
-
- }So, Jef and others against Jonathan, this question is addressed to you:
- }If two groups were created tomorrow, alt.answers and (say) alt.answers.alt,
- }would you confine your FAQ postings to alt.answers.alt and not mess with
- }alt.answers?
-
- The suggestion was alt.answers.free, and your question was already
- answered.
