Please be advised that in news.groups.proposals there is an ongoing Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove 99 moderated newsgroups, including the following one(s) that may be of interest to readers of this notice:

 These groups have long been derelict due to the lack of a moderator.
 If any readers of this notice are willing to serve as moderator
for any of these groups, and have the technical infrastructure to
do so, they are encouraged to contact the Big-8 Management Board
by replying by e-mail to this message.  The Board is happy to
advise prospective moderators on the technical and procedural
requirements.

 let it go!

 Phew! I'm glad you said that Dave... when I saw that message from the
Big-8 Board I thought you might be the one person here that would
volunteer to become the moderator of RADWM!

I was EXPECTING Binky to stick his hand up .... but, maybe, his High
Powered ISP/NSP Business is keeping him too busy!!
Oh!! WAIT!!

(Again!) No vote would have been needed this time though... ;-)
 My view is moderated groups equal censorship and go against the whole
idea behind Usenet... so yeah, let it go.
 

Never having been exposed to one, I couldn't possibly comment!! ;-P
