Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI)
misc.transport.air-industry
This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because
the moderated newsgroup misc.transport.air-industry is not functioning,
and may have been abandoned by its moderator. This investigation will
attempt to verify the reasons for non-function, and may result in the
removal of the group, the unmoderation of the group, or the selection
and installation of a new moderator.
To discuss the issues affecting the group, to propose a new moderator,
or to provide information regarding the current moderator, please respond
to this thread in the news.groups newsgroup. If you are interested in
the continued existence of this newsgroup, please also indicate that
interest in the news.groups newsgroup.
If you *are* the current moderator, and retain an interest in the group,
please reply to this announcement immediately. If the current moderator
appears and re-asserts control of the group, the investigation may be
halted entirely, or shifted to discussion of technical problems which
may have adversely affected the functioning of the group.
Unless the current moderator appears and expresses an interest in
continuing, the presumption of this investigation is that a problem
exists, and that a change is needed. The MVI procedure is initiated only
when such a presumption exists, formed due to both absence of postings
in the group and either absence of response from the moderator or an
explicit statement that the group is abandoned or should be removed.
Pending the confirmation of a vacancy, and the successful completion of
these proceedings, a new moderator may be installed on a probationary
basis at the discretion of the news.announce.newgroups moderation team.
Note that the removal of the group at the conclusion of the MVI is also
a strong possibility. In many cases, moderators abandon groups because
no one is interested in using them.
STATUS: misc.transport.air-industry
The status with regard to finding a new moderator is as follows:
Interest in this group was expressed by John Kohl.
Jim Riley writes concerning the misc.transport.air-industry.*
groups:
"These were intended to provide a place of discussion outside
rec.aviation.*."
If such a distinction is to be maintained, the groups might need active
moderators.
END STATUS.
This is a preliminary procedure. It will run for a minimum of 21 days,
at which point a decision will hopefully be reached. It is possible
that the MVI period will be extended at that time.
Probationary moderators may be removed by the NAN Team. Moderators
installed by vote during a RFD/CFV, or given the group by an active
previous moderator installed by vote (including in a chain from such a
moderator), are not subject to probation.

You may post pointers to this investigation announcement to other
interested newsgroups. However, all discussion should appear in
news.groups.
Note: The majority of this post is a form letter, indicating an MVI
procedure for the group misc.transport.air-industry. The primary exception
is the STATUS paragraph.

used in moderation. Why, they say small amounts of wine are even good
for you! It won't do me any harm if I take just one little drink..."
Well you know what is going to happen. Never forget that the human
race with technology is just like an alcoholic with a barrel of wine.
204. Revolutionaries should have as many children as they can. There
is strong scientific evidence that social attitudes are to a
significant extent inherited. No one suggests that a social attitude
is a direct outcome of a person's genetic constitution, but it appears
that personality traits tend, within the context of our society, to
make a person more likely to hold this or that social attitude.
Objections to these findings have been raised, but objections are
feeble and seem to be ideologically motivated. In any event, no one
denies that children tend on the average to hold social attitudes
similar to those of their parents. From our point of view it doesn't
matter all that much whether the attitudes are passed on genetically
or through childhood training. In either case the ARE passed on.
205. The trouble is that many of the people who are inclined to rebel
against the industrial system are also concerned about the
