O Very interesting survey!

O I currently have 11 groups in my queue. I've had more and
O I've had less.

O I'm posting to 9 of those and all under the same nickname.

O Activity varies depending on personal interests and what
O threads are offered. I don't start a lot of threads myself.
O (Hey, there is a question you missed, do you regularly start
O new threads? G)

O Anyhoo, that will be really cool to look at once a few more
O voters check in.

O I only sub to one moderated group. Usenet, in general, is an
O anarchy and I like it that way. If I don't like a thread (or
O poster), I know how to operate my killfiles.

I wouldn't want r.f.cooking to be moderated despite the fact
that moderation might remove a number of irritating posts. On
the other hand, some of those posts might be mine and moderation
also slows things down :-) My own rules often remove 2/3 of the
posts to r.f.cooking. I have read some moderated groups from
time to time and mostly they don't seem very active or all that
interesting. R.food.recipes is a moderated group that *is* quite
active but it has an awful lot of banal contributions especially
from some people who feels that their life's useful goal is to
post dozens of recipes at a time most of which I'm sure the
poster has never tried and you can't post comments
