        The solution is *not* to moderate >can.infohighway<
        but to create a newsgroup >can.infohighway.moderated<
        and let the Calgary Kid have his way. It will turn
        into a tedious and boring wasteland... and he'll be
        back. But then everyone can say... "See, it doesn't
        work. Don't bug us. Piss off."
