Why can't the gateway be moderated?  This is being done for a lot of
ARPAnet groups as we watch (read net.announce).  The moderator would be
able to forward only those articles from net.micro.cpm that s/he felt were
appropriate.  Needless to say, there is probably much less that originates
on the ARPAnet that  net.micro.cpm readers would be offended by, but that
could be deleted too.

PS  I would volunteer to do the moderation, if somebody would fix me up
with an account on an ARPAnet machine that I could get to via a local phone
call...
