In fact, I have : to say that the alt.war.civil.usa group is personally more interesting : to me than soc.history.war.us-civil-war, but that's a different issue. :) Just a personal note: I myself will probably do some cross-posting. Within the alt.* hierarchy, alt.sex.magazines and alt.magazines.pornographic are obvious duplicates, but I tend to cross-post to both of them (and to alt.sex.movies when the post regards a porn star) when I have queries or am responding to requests about "When did so-and-so appear in magazines?". Even alt.sex.strip-clubs gets cross-posts as happened with the recent appearance of several male porn stars in Washington, DC strip clubs. Perhaps the more "high brow" discussions will disappear in a.s.m., but they will PROLIFERATE in r.a.m.e. where they will find less noise and better visibility. (And, IMHO, with fewer "fuck this shit, I wanna talk about Debi Diamond!" followup posts and their subsequent follow-ons dragging the thread off-topic, the "high brow" posts will stay on topic and proliferate this way, as well. IMHO.) : OTOH, neither alt.history.what-if nor alt.war.civil.usa had to contend : with massive muiltipart binary posts, 900-sex-number ads, or the Pig in : all his guises. Piggie's been striking in one of the comp.sys.* groups as well. Same old crapola he's pulling in a.s.m.

This is, I feel sure, one reason : why there will be multiple moderators, so that posts can be processed as : quickly as possible. With some of the moderators in Europe, handling the night posts, and some in America handling the day posts, and with the moderators being all over the country and using different systems, I don't see much of a problem. As r.a.m.e. grows, I think moderators can be added (gee, I've even got some ideas in mind for who! :) ). : : If part of a posting is found unsuitable, will the offending parts be : : deleted, or will the entire message be sent back to the author? : I'd have to defer to the proponents to answer this question, but my : experience is : that the whole message is sent back to the poster to be redone. Mine, too. Although, if it's a small problem, the moderator will often supply a note or point out where the problem is. Clear violations of policy will just be returned with a for-letter note; at least that's how other groups do it. See ya... Tim -- References:
