Since it is possible to send posts uni-directionally from the newsgroup to the listserv and the newsgroup can be moderated, can the posts sent to the moderator be placed directly into an archive file without first being sent to the subscribers of the list? If so, how do I go about becoming the moderator for the newsgroup rec.pets.birds? What is the work load involved in being a moderator for a fairly active group? Just trying to please all of the people all of the time :-). TIA, Kathryn A. Smith katsmith@vt.edu EXOTIC-L list owner

Sure, this can be done, but does *anyone* on rec.pets.birds want it that way? >If so, how do I go about becoming the moderator for the >newsgroup rec.pets.birds? What is the work load involved >in being a moderator for a fairly active group? This would involve a formal Usenet vote, which would take at least 3 months, to make the newsgroup moderated. And only if the newsgroup readers want it that way. I suspect they do not want their newsgroup moderated. A moderator reads and decides whether to post every single article submitted to a newsgroup or mailing list. For high volume newsgroups, this means constant attention. Many readers expect their articles to appear within a few hours, even on weekends. Are you prepared to respond to e-mail on a continual basis, and find a replacement moderator if you are away for more than a day or so? -- Una Smith una.smith@yale.edu Dept. of Biology, Yale Univ., New Haven, CT 06520-8104
