Can somebody tell me what is the procedure for getting things posted
to the moderated newsgroups?  I have not seen *one thing* from
net.announce at abnjh, ever.  If there is really such little activity,
what is the purpose of keeping it?  If other sites have ever seen
anything on net.announce, please let me know by mail.  Perhaps we can
set up a one-newsgroup news link so abnjh can get the good word.

Mark?  Are you listening?  I think moderated newsgroups are a great
idea, if we can get them up and running.  But I would like to hear more
about how they are supposed to work.  For example, what keeps rifraff
from posting to them?  (Can we rely on people to follow etiquette
here?)  What *is* the accepted way of getting something posted
(assuming the moderator thinks it is worth posting)?  Does one send
mail to the moderator, or does one post to a related 'net.' newsgroup
and hope that the moderator picks it up and reposts it?  Or what?
