Ahem:
Maybe I missed something, but when was the removal of net.micro.mac
discussed *anywhere* or announced to its readers? Or is prior discussion
no longer SOP when removing a group?

Why are net.micro.amiga and net.micro.mac going to be put into a
moderated newsgroup? This is going to make lots of people mad
for no particularly good reason.

>TALK.POLITICS.ARMS-D mod.politics.arms-d
I recall that there was intense discussion, and general name-calling about
these two groups last month. The consensus seemed to be that the above
classification was a mistake. Please, if this is so, someone from the
backbone say so quickly. One flame war is enough.

Well, it was a consensus but not complete agreement. At any rate, what was
agreed to was that if a mistake had been made, it would be corrected, but
not until AFTER the reorganization was completed. Also, mod groups will not
be moved in the initial phase of reorganization anyway, which renders the
entire argument moot, at least for now. Undoubtedly it will come up again
when the mod groups get moved.

I have received assurances from both Rick Adams and Mark Horton that
net.micro.amiga's replacement is not going to be moderated. Apparently
the error was incorporated into an earlier list, and keeps resurfacing.
