How does one find out who the moderators are in the "mod.*" groups? No "policy notes" seem to be present, and some of the "digests" don't give submission instructions. John Nagle

Notesfiles do not have builtin capability to handle moderated files, but a package of modifications was posted to net.sources several months ago to provide that support (so that responses in such files are automatically mailed to the moderator). That code seems to work as advertised. Perhaps Ray Essick will distribute it in the next release of notes. Policy notes are not networked, so even if the rest of Usenet had them (which they don't, since the bulk of them don't run notes) they wouldn't arrive at your site. I consider this a shortcoming in notes, but Ray did it that way on purpose to protect the autonomy of individual sites, which I consider to be a feature. -- scott preece gould/csd - urbana ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece
