You do have a pretty good point, but there _are_ certain advantages of
the controlled environments of moderated groups, and people reading the
groups may take the moderated posts a little more seriously.

Well, it was not I who stated that, even though by implication it
would seem that I fully agreed; be that as it may, my goal was one
of seeking simple justice re the moderated group re its cowardly
and fully unjust rejections. And I was not hoping that one of them
would go against the rest, but was hoping to find a higher authority;
who controls and/or elects the moderators? Something is rotten in
Denmark if the moderators really are the gods which they think
(or seem to think) they are.

Just for the record, note that I e-mailed Urs Schreiber asking him
for his explanation about how a mere question about physics could
be "overly speculative," but of course I received no response.
