I'll decide where to post a followup, thank you very much. I refuse to

administrators for being trolled into the discussions of the socmen
herding group and pondscum group, both absurd proposals for moderated
newsgroups discussion of which wouldn't die out for months) to discuss
the failure of the moderation scheme for these two newsgroups.

Another time when skirv wanted to withdraw as a group moderator (I
forget which group), he posted an MVI, which was an abuse of process.
 This is all irrelevant. What needs to be done, which would be hard but
useful work, is to contact each and every currently used moderated
newsgroup to verify that they have a moderation team in place and a
moderator succession policy.
 Are you going to do that? No, of course not, 'cuz that might ensure that
these might be useable for the indefinite future.
 Leave all the failed moderated newsgroups in the checkgroups to remind
the Usenet community of the folly of the current moderation scheme with
its single point of (inevitable) failure.
 As always, cleaning up checkgroups doesn't save Usenet. It's busy work.

People are with you! We stand with you. All peasant are willing to take flags and move to the square.
