Tax e-mail lists and tax discussion groups

On the misc.taxes Usenet group you are likely to run into tax protesters and similar information. The misc.taxes. moderated newsgroup was created in response to a perceived desire to avoid the hyperbole of the unmoderated group and return to a more reasoned and "well-tempered" discussion of tax related issues. Unlike the misc.taxes newsgroup, where tax questions can be posted freely and without censoring, all comments posted to the moderated newsgroup are reviewed prior to posting, and are generally posted only if they are deemed to contribute to the group discussion in a meaningful and significant manner.
