As seventeen bezillion people have pointed out, some of the groups
I listed had already been rmgrouped.  Therefore, here are my lists
and suggestions again, with only groups that appear in the most
recent checkgroups message.  Yes, even rec.games.vectrex.

Suggestion: after a few months with no traffic, a moderated group
should be changed to free, with the change announced in the group to
see if any discussion gets going.  I suppose it would also be polite to
send mail to the moderator noting the change.  Then, anyone who wants
to become the new moderator, including the old moderator, is free to
petition; or if it takes off, it can just remain free.

As for a free group with no traffic for a few months, just remove the
sucker.  If anyone objects, they can vote to have the group re-created.
