Seebs was the moderator of comp.lang.c.moderated, but has
not participated since 2014. There have been no posts on
comp.lang.c.moderated since then.

There have been discussions here in comp.lang.c in 2018 and 2021
about reviving comp.lang.c.moderated. I emailed Seebs about this
at the time, and he expressed tentative interesting in seeing it
revived, but with someone else moderating it.

My tentative opinion is that it's probably not worth reviving,
but if others are sufficiently interested *and* someone volunteers
to moderate it, perhaps it could be done. If it were revived,
I'd certainly subscribe and participate.

One possible concern is that if comp.lang.c.moderated is removed,
historical posts might be lost. I don't know whether that's
a valid concern. It might depend on the policies of individual
Usenet servers and archives.
I am in favor of reviving comp.lang.c.moderated, and hope a
suitable moderating arrangement can be found.
Technical question: is it feasible to have moderating duties
be shared among several people on some sort of rotating basis?
I have no experience moderating a usenet news group.
