I realise that there can be a fine line between a posting being approved 
and not approved dpending on its content but please can I ask the 
moderators of uk.legal.moderated to try to remain even-handed and impartial 
when reviewing postings.

In the recent thread about the legal implications of not wearing a cycle 
helmet, there have been a number of postings containg material not related 
to the legal issues but which have been addressing the practical aspects of 
helmet wearing and why it is good or bad depending which side you are on in 
the debate.

Some of these articles have been rightly rejected (including a couple of 
mine) while other articles, which have been nothing more than essays 
justifying why helmets are not good for safety and with no or little 
reference to the legal implications, have managed to pass moderation.

I therefore believe that the moderators have not acted impartially.

LOL!  You're in most of the killfiles on urc, so I don't think your
definition of "impartial" will necessarily match anyone else's.

i've no idea about the merits or otherwise of your post, seeing as I've 
got better things to do with my time than read threads on cycle helmets.

but this isn't the right group. uk.net.news.moderation is there 
precisely for this sort of things

Thanks, I will re-direct my concerns to that group.  Apologies for posting 
to the wrong group,
