I would welcome a moderated physics newsgroup.  (I also agree with the
idea of "light" moderation, where the moderator does nothing but
select those articles that actually have something to do with
physics.)

Unfortunately, a call for moderation is useless unless someone
volunteers to be the moderator.  At this point, I am unaware of anyone
who is (a) qualified to be the moderator, and (b) willing to take the
time to actually do it.  (Please not that I am not volunteering.)

If anyone does volunteer, then I think we should start the discussion
in news.groups immediately.
