Can't anyone answer this question, or at least point me to a source of
information?

To moderate a "mainstream" Usenet newsgroup requires first conducting
a 3-month discussion and vote procedure.  To moderate a newsgroup in
the bit.* hierarchy might be a simpler process.  I wouldn't know.

But what you probably want is to moderate the mailing list;  this is
something you can turn on and off as you like, and it always works, no
matter what.  You will then be able to filter all articles, whatever
the source.  ECOLOG-L/sci.bio.ecology and BIOTECH/sci.bio.technology
are both run this way;  contact their owners for more information.

Sigh.
