Those of you who haven't been following the discussion in news.groups
should know that daemon@desire.wright.edu is very strongly on one side
of the main issue being discussed, i.e., he believes that the current
guidelines are sufficient. I believe that the questions he has chosen
in his poll are biased by this fact. I am on the other side of the
debate, and I therefore chose to add these two questions to my
response to his poll:
[vote] The current guidelines should be interpreted as they are
written.
[vote] The moderator of news.announce.newgroups should have the power
to enforce the guidelines as written.
I would like to urge people to add these questions to their responses.
(Incidentally, I believe that demon's poll distorts the issue
significantly, since it implies that whether or not it should be
possible to replace a moderator or unmoderate a group is something
about which there has been disagreement. In fact, no one has argued,
throughout the entire discussion, that it should not be possible to
replace a moderator or unmoderate a group, and I doubt anyone believes
that. The only real issue, throughout the discussion, has been
whether or not the current guidelines are sufficient. I suggest you
keep that in mind if you respond to this poll.)
