I think that we are making much ado about nothing when we decry
having only a moderated "comp.sys.mac".  After my previous posting
on this subject (<16406@mordor>), an article by Robert Elz arrived
at my site which said that the unmoderated Mac and Amiga newsgroups
were not going away -- the new:old list that Mark Horton posted was
out of date and inaccurate in this respect.  This, coupled with the
fact that "comp.sys.mac" was created now (although the "mod" renaming
won't take place for some time yet), convinced me that my fears
were groundless.

BTW, I'm not a foe of moderated newsgroups; in fact, I prefer them.
My concern with respect to the termination of "net.micro.mac" was
that there was no advance warning (and therefore no time to set up
the moderated alternatives).  This lack of advance warning is quite
understandable given that apparently no such termination is planned.
