Just think about how easy it would be for a forging troll to mailbomb
anyone he wanted to by flooding the newsgroup with posts under the victim's
spoofed e-mail address. This system is too vulnerable to abuse. The groups
should be moderated, for one. Second, Marc needs to decide whether he wants
the groups to be in pgsql.*, *or* comp.* ... not both. The lists and gating
methods should all be explained in detail on the final RFD, so they appear
on the CFV.
