This is a noble sentiment, Peter.

I'd encourage you to spend some time on Usenet and let us know how that 
brave experiment unrestricted dialog among anybody who cares enough to 
show up is working out these days.

Last I checked, it was a swamp. Of course, I gave up on it years ago, so 
perhaps it has finally changed into the land of thoughtful dialog that 
people always dreamed of.
