As a long time capitalist, I like the idea of paid moderators, though I
admit it may be difficult for the academic-socialist-minded netfolk to
come up with a good way to pay for it.

I think some major commercial site like uunet, apple, sun, etc., would
gain a lot of goodwill by hiring someone to do just that.  Especially
if it helped reduce net traffic, it would not even cost them much in
the long run.  Imagine the reduction in traffic a moderator for A.S.P.
would cause!

How much?  Just so we have some figures to talk about, I make the following
offer: For the cost of hardware and $36,000 a year, I'll become a full-
time moderator of one or more groups.  I have been a professional 
programmer for 10 years, and believe I have the expertise and temperament
required for the job.

So how about it, fellow capitalists?  Any offers?
