Where is Paul Schleck these days? Here it is 1 December and
his "threatening" troika of "moderators" haven't yet appeared.
I wonder if he has been appointed to a new cabinet post? You
know, the "Department of Hamland Security"... :-)

The member of our team that is finishing the final draft of the Request
for Discussion (RFD) agreed to a firm deadline of January 1, 2007. The
team has reviewed, and agreed to, prior working drafts of the RFD, as
well as submission guidelines for the proposed new newsgroup, so this is
just cleanup and tweaking at this point. The submission guidelines were
recently posted to misc.test.moderated. We will have an RFD to pass
along to the news.announce.newsgroups moderator to crosspost to this
newsgroup shortly after January 1st. Moving the discussion period to
after Christmas is also desirable in order to have a bigger audience for
the RFD, and give everyone ample opportunity to provide feedback free of
holiday distractions and time demands.

In the meantime, we've been testing the robomoderation software, Secure
Team-Based Usenet Moderation Program (STUMP). Several
rec.radio.amateur.policy participants have graciously agreed to send us
test submissions, many of which we have approved and posted to
misc.test.moderated. At this point, anyone reading this newsgroup is
welcome to send us test postings. Send such submissions to:

We'll process them as if they were actual submissions to the proposed
moderated newsgroup. Anything we approve will be posted to
misc.test.moderated, so please don't send anything to that address that
you don't want posted to Usenet, or at least add the text "not for
publication" or "do not approve." We would be particularly interested
in test postings that are PGP signed.

Watch this space for further information after the first of the year.

Good luck with it Paul. I look forward to seeing Markie, Lloydie, Woger,
Todd, Steve, Brian, Lenny, U-Know-Who, John, Robert, Jimmie, Scott and all
CW test haters and lazy asses put in the dumpster. It will make usenet a
much better place. And a real hams can save ham radio from the dumb it
downers.

Thanks, 73 de Slow Code
