Humans are a design flaw, whether they be moderators, or members in a headlong rush to be the "first" to post what they hear on the radio.

Posters are mandatory. Moderators are not.

Posters are mandatory. Moderators are [necessary].

10 threads on the same subject diminish the value of this forum, which is a place where people gather articles, and then themselves gather for discussion. Your "anarchy" system would quickly prove unworkable, and you know it.

It is precisely the opposite. 95% of all posts are "dreck," to paraphrase SF writer Norman Spinrad.

Moderators are specialized and hand-picked.

This ain't pro sports, where everyone comes to see the "pros" and the refs oughta stay out of the way.

I wish there was more moderation, ESPECIALLY of inane "vanities" that sound like the maunderings of paranoid-schizophrenics who need an adjustment of their medication.
