moderated health and behavior newsgroup
 

We are thinking of setting one up since this group has become such a
wasteland. It would be through an easily-accessible venue such as
Yahoo, etc. Would anyone here be interested in participating? If so,
please send me an email - address in header is valid.

Thanks!

Your effort will die like this one is dying. Why? Because this topic
attracts those who are infatuated with cats as surrogate partners and/or
children. That these people are mostly women speaks to why this kind of a
forum cannot survive unmoderated.

It will be a *moderated* group, Phillip. Read the header. You (and
anyone) are welcome to join us for real cat h+b discussion, if you'd
like.

I read the header but it needed to be fleshed out. ;^)

Thank you for the invite. Hopefully there will be yourself and a
counterbalancing male moderator only. ;^) That this forum turned into a
womans club is a large part of it's downfall.

I don't know who will moderate, yet. We haven't discussed it. I will
try my best to be gender-neutral for you. ;)

Oh, yeah, Lynnie. Go to your new group and PLEASE take
Philip with you! :)

Conceivably, though in reality probably not. (How's that for clear? I
wouldn't be an early adopter [heh] anyway).

From my experience with moderated groups, the actual quality of
moderation is very important - and it's all too easy for this not to
obtain. It's a bit like that old saw that people who want power should
explicitly not have it. Plus, it's often the case that any insults and
such just become more underhand and designed to slip under the
moderator's radar; they don't really disappear.

YMMV.
