Not necessary.  Use News.misc which will cover all other cases.  The
priority should be on cleaning up this forum so that the news admins 
and other relevant people will be able to read without the excess noise
which tends to make people not read the newsgroup at all as it is.
The idea that a moderator is A Bad Thing is a kind of 'red herring' and
doesn't hold much merit for a group like news.admin.

Please followup to news.groups where this has been cross-posted.
That is where this kind of discussion belongs.
