I seem to recall that the purpose of URCM was to stop JMS/Judith (and Nuxxy)
from interfering in communication.

I disagree. The group is part of the uk.* hierarchy; therefore it has
to abide by certain rules, one of which is that it should be run
impartially and not as a private club. The group was created under
false pretences with the express intention of "getting round" those
rules. It's not on. By "taking up" the uk.rec.cycling.moderated slot
these atypical nutjob cyclists are preventing other, more enlightened
people who are normal cyclists (as opposed to car-hating extremists)
from making an honest effort to run a properly open moderated
newsgroup about cycling in the UK.

If these people want a private club, they must run it as a forum or
private newsgroup. If they want to have a uk.* newsgroup, they must
run it without the obvious intention of excluding certain posters/
opinions/truths that they don't like (because "they", the moderators,
all seem to have the same opinions on cycle helmets etc...what a
coincidence, eh?) They can't have a private club *and* run it as a
uk.* newsgroup, no matter how popular some people perceive it to be:
they need to choose and stop being so arrogant.

I thought that at first, but decided not after reading the thread over on
uk.n.n.c - not only is TLT a bit too intelligent and balanced, but
they've actually had a bit of a spat with JMS in that thread.

What a surprise. JMS's only friend. The other troll who wrecked
uk.rec.cycling.
