Summary: Real Soon Now, OK, Robert?

As noted by Robert Elz (who keeps poking me about this [a good thing;
that means it will get done]) there are about 10 "moderated" newsgroups
that aren't really moderated; they're just gatewayed versions of
ARPANET mailing lists that are also not moderated.

These newsgroups will be converted to bi-directionally gatewayed,
unmoderated status when the rest of the mod groups are converted,
somtime Real Soon Now, by the reckoning of the backbone cabal...

P.S.	Bi-directionally gatewayed means: mail from ARPANET appears on
	USENET; postings on USENET get mailed to ARPANET. Yes, there is
	loop/duplicate control in place.
