Goodness. I never thought I'd see you say such a thing. The fact that you just have shows how far you've been pushed (although perhaps it would have been better applied to Wacko).

I wonder whether the most practical way to improve URCM (at least as an initial attempt) would be to get rid of the Chief Moderator and 2 or 3 others. I think that the remaining moderators *may* be able to run the newsgroup properly, if only they weren't constantly being "encouraged" to toe the bullying/censoring line. I'm sure that Wacko is as intolerant towards disagreement on the moderators' internal mailing list as he is elsewhere.
