That's all well and good...but what's the relevance to Usenet? Usenet isn't
even close to the journal you propose, and can't be hammered into such a
shape even if you have Mjollnir at your disposal. (For the mythology-
impaired, Mjollnir was Thor's hammer; Thor was the Norse god of thunder.)
The rest of us seem to get along just fine with Usenet as it is. What's
your beef? As I said, there's not a whole lot you can do about the level
of flamage on the net, and complicated proposals for greatly limiting the
volume of discussion certainly won't help.
