How, pray tell, do you reach this conclusion?

Don't get me wrong, I didn't vote for the group either.  But it seems
to me that some amount of "behind the scenes" work has to occur for
just about anything that is set up on the net, simply because this
isn't real life - we aren't working in the same office building and
can't "watch" everything that goes on.

I will probably never submit anything to the group.  It seems pointless
and redundant and spiteful.  You want feedback and testing - use
alt.sources as your beta-test facility, then pick one of the other
groups for the finished product.
