I totally disagree.  So what about spam?  The newsgroups I have
worked in do not show the messages by people unless you double click them.

And it would be an OPEN witness, rather than a semi-cloistered deal.
Who cares about the quick rich schemes being posted.  We do not have to read
what we do not have to read - and we don't even have to delete.
