alt.shoe.lesbians.moderated discussions by lesbians, bisexual women and friends (moderated)

Justification of Readership:
The current newsgroup alt.shoe.lesbians has been swamped with sex ads and other forms of spam, and is in danger of being abandoned by its readers. The move to a moderated newsgroup will benefit the readers of the current newsgroup greatly. After a transitional period, alt.shoe.lesbians.moderated will replace the current newsgroup.

CHARTER:

This newsgroup is for discussions of interest to the lesbian and bisexual women's community. Topics range from advice and support to books and movies.
