         Sorry, Glen, the group has to be moderated when you first create

         it. And on top of that, Alt groups are by definition un-moderated (I

         could be talking out my ass here, so someone correct me if I'm
         wrong.)

         Moderation sucks big weenie. (excuse my unmoderated vulgarity).
         Although it

         _is_ annoying to see 1-800-cybrsuk ads popping up everywhere, it's
         also a

         bitch to go through all of the extra work to post. Less people would
         post,

         and one thing that we do NOT need is less posters. I mean, that
         would bring

         it down into negs!

         it's possible, although a pain in the ass to designate a newsgroup
         as

         moderated ex post facto.

         the question is, is it advisable.

         IMHO, no
