rec.photo.moderated is reopened for submissions

This is to announce that rec.photo.moderated is now reopened for
submissions.

According to [1], "Rec.photo.moderated is a moderated Usenet
newsgroup for the discussion of topics related to the art and
science of photography and that are of interest to the serious
amateur recreational photographer."

Please review the "moderation criteria" at [1], as well as
additional considerations / updates at [2] (that are being
posted alongside this announcement), before posting here.

Note that you have an option of submitting your articles via
email at rec-photo-moderated-submit@newsmod.am-1.org .  Please
refer to [2] for important details.

It is my intent to post a pointer to applicable submission
guidelines to this group several times a year, though no
specific plan as yet.  Unless there be objections, I might
also start forwarding announcements of ongoing amateur
photography contests, such as Commons Photo Challenge [3].
