True.

Why have news server spend resources for a moderated group on usenet?

This question has already been answered at length by the proponents.
It was even addressed in the RFD: "At the same time, many former
rec.ponders discovered that other outlets were not a useful
alternative. Many of the boards, lists and forums that permit pond
discussion appear to be more oriented to the high-end hobbyist."

The proponents and supporters of this proposal want a Usenet
newsgroup, because they like Usenet newsgroups. The fact that there
are people eager to use such a newsgroup is reason enough to create it.


Forums can be created to cater to anything anyone wants. The forum
mentioned was created after the reply to this question by the RFD. This
particular forum was created for ponders and their interests recently,
while there is waiting for the new moderated group, and people are
going there. And the announcement was made on rec.ponds itself, no
crossposts. This should demostarte that inf there is a will there is a
way. There is really nothing to prevent a google group to represent
ponders. It can be modertated and be seen by all who use view
newsgroup thru goolge.

Why a moderated news group, when ther are other availbe options, and
these option have not been explored nor attempted by the proponents of
the RFD. It was just last week; Karl Davis allowed a Pond forum to be
created.
