I know it sounds as though I am trying to be argumentative, but I would like
to get a few clarifications on these points:

> 1) Would you prefer that the group be moderated and that the moderator

Is the group just a mailing list, i.e an mail alias for a bunch of people?
How do people who are not in it join? by asking the moderator?

> 2) Do we want women only on the list? (and how can we tell if someone
>    is bogus??)

I think it depends on what the topics discussed will be, if it is simply
feminism, then I think men should definitely participate.  What would be
the reasons for keeping the men out?

> 3) Do we want only feminists on the list? (I think we could spot those who are

What is the definition of a feminist.  Is it something like the one I posted
some time ago, or is it completely different?
