My experience with moderated Usenet groups in the past is not too
positive. The moderator was often some self appointed jobsworth who
has no authority in the real world but had ultimate power over the group.

Exactly. ULM is like this. Law is a rather technical subject. You can
spend ages composing a detailed reply to someone on a specialist topic,
and then it is deleted on grounds of 'not adding sufficient new content'
by a moderator who isn't very well up with the subject. Pish.

I found exactly the same when I joined a moderated NG. It was run as a
private shop by a few old farts and if you didn't agree with their
religion your posts simply vanished.
