Note how the phrase moderated did not show up in the Subject line?

Be sure to mail the following text to vot...@uvv.stanford.edu so to
prevent the cabal from sneaking in another worthless newsgroup:

Worthless? Yeah, RIGHT! I'm voting YES. This is needed.
Besides, just because omit one word doesn't make them bad. You should
READ the proposal, then you'd see that they aren't hiding anything.
(Notice where I did it)
The message that this is a reply to is officially vote fraud, by the way.
