Well, I'm pretty sure that the moderator vote you were talking about was for
the proposed newsgroup comp.graphics.research. The moderator vote for that is
already over, since it was rather rushed (around a week, I think) in an
attempt to get all of the niggly - and necessary - details out of the way
before posting the Call For Votes (currently in progress) for the new group.

Changing comp.graphics from unmoderated to moderated -was- proposed during
the CFD for c.g.research, but it was generally agreed that an attempt to
moderate a group for the purpose of excluding the overwhelming percentage
of "how do I..." posts that appear here would be bound to fail, or at least
cause more trouble than it was worth, so we opted to vote on a new group
instead.

Your humble moderator, comp.graphics.research (proposed)

(since the two CFV's for the group seem to have expired rather quickly at a
few sites, the voting addresses are:
        yes@barkley.berkeley.edu for yes votes
        no@barkley.berkeley.edu for no votes
        oops@barkley.berkeley.edu for changing one's mind)
