	If unauthorized postings to moderated groups become a problem, I
would suggest that the moderator of the affected group send mail to the
news administrator of the originating site of the offending posting, in an
attempt to have the admin reconfigure the news software to have the FASCIST
option invoked.
	If repeated mailings to the news admin fail to result in satisfactory
action, then the moderator can contact sites progressively upstream of the
site in question, attempting to get the news feed cut or a "filter" installed.
If this procedure gets up to the backbone and still fails to get action, then
perhaps having the group in question moderated is so unpopular that its status
should be reconsidered.
