Will you stop the UE once you have created your own moderated group in
which to play?

Somehow I doubt it.

Actually, now that you mention it, that's a fair offer. If the
moderated newsgroup is created, I will retire the first-time-poster
welcome message service. Now, the moderated newsgroup itself will
likely have some sort of autoreply to acknowledge submissions. But
autoreplies to posts to the unmoderated groups would then cease.

So, if you want the welcome messages to cease to the unmoderated
rec.radio.amateur.* newsgroups, express support for the moderated
newsgroup during the Request For Discussion (RFD) and vote for its
creation during the Call For Votes (CFV). Watch for these announcements
sometime late summer/early fall.

Deal?
