I at one time volunteered to moderate this newsgroup, however I did not have
the time nor the energy to manage it in the way that Harry was planning (you
know, newsletters and the like) but was planning on archiving all input
requests, trying them out, and then posting those that didn't trash my machine.

I really don't know is the world is looking for that type of moderation. As
time goes on and experiance is aquired, things might start looking up in the
world for the type of moderation going on, but at this point in time, its
not at its best stages...

Also, I have no real idea what software is required to run a moderation
site. I have requested the information from Gene, but have gotten no response.
Of course, his mailbox is probably like a circular file system so thats really
no suprise.

Well, if people are still interested in moderating the binaries section, and
need someone, let me know, vote for it, whatever...
