I urge everyone to vote no for this proposal.


1) there has been no discussion about this proposal in news groups and I
do not remember a RFD for a moderated group in news.announce.newgroups. If
someone wants a group, follow the guidelines which include a discussion of
the name and moderation status in news groups.


2) I oppose the moderation aspect. There is no need to moderate the group. 
Almost all other news groups in the comp.sys tree are unmoderated, this one
should be


3) There is no need for a separate discussion group.


I would like to have the proponents of the proposal withdraw this premature
CFV and issue a real RFD [Request for Discussion] as the guidelines require.
