Sez who?

Look, no one from the news.answers moderation team gave any
kind of official blessing, sanction, or disapproval to
alt.answers. Someone merely suggested it in alt.config
once, for the sake of symmetry, and it was agreed that it
would serve some purpose. It was also decided that it would
best reflect the spirit of alt if, like alt.hackers, it was
created as a moderated group but without a designated
moderator in the mailpaths file.

I am not aware of any precedent that defined *anything* as
being unacceptable for alt.answers. I rather suspect that
anyone attempting to establish any such precedent would be
shot down by the Anarchists, Lunatics, and Terrorists.
Whoever told you this was trying to pull a fast one on you,
Peter.
