I'm officially throwing my name into the ring, provided this is acceptable to a majority of r.a.s. readers, the technical aspects of moderatorship can be worked out at my end, and the newsgroup is voted into existance. Note that for the time being, I have a fairly solid newsfeed and an easily- reached mailing address (as far as I know). >Normally, when a person is a moderator, all information goes to that person >for posting/rejection.

If >it is against the rules, I won't do it. Based on my experience with Vidiot's postings, I would say that if it can be worked out so that he can post his schedules, Paramount info, etc., straight to the newsgroup, it would be preferable to forcing him to route that stuff through a moderator. Is there a "joint moderatorship" scheme that would allow this?
