Moderation does not have to work in that manner. I am not advocating
moderation of any usenet group...simply pointing out the error of the

Moderation can be an "after-the-fact" process.

I am one of several moderators of an on-line help forum for a specific
software application. All posts appear in the forum as soon as they
are posted. It is my responsibility to log in every now and then and
review the posts. I then have a number of options, including:

believe that the distributed nature of Usenet allows for that to work.
