According to my records, comp.binaries.ibm.pc has been unmoderated
since the last moderator bowed out. I have gotten second and
third-hand accounts of a new moderator, but I have not seen a posting
or received any mail from a person who actually claims to be the new
moderator so as to update my records. This site expires the "binaries"
newsgroups after 48 hours, and I normally don't read those groups
anyway, so if there has been a posting there -- I missed it.
Now, just because I haven't been notified certainly doesn't imply that
there is no moderator for the group, just as me not knowing about a
group doesn't mean it doesn't exist. However, the past few
"checkgroups" and "list of active groups" I've issued have both shown
the group as unmoderated, and the list that most of the backbone sites
use to build their list of moderator addresses has had no entry for
comp.binaries.ibm.pc; that's all I can do without definitive
information.
Sooo, if there actually *is* a moderator, I would like mail from
her/him (not from all the readers, and not from all her/his friends)
telling me the following:
1) How long have you been moderator?
2) What is your full name?
3) What e-mail address should be used for posting submissions?
4) What address should be used for newsgroup questions
(usually #3 with a "-request" suffix).
5) Have you been added to the "moderators" mailing list?
6) Have you gotten the moderators' tool kit?
Thanks.
