Oh? Can you name a few, please?

My news provider carries 33,766 newsgroups. Of those, 4,986 are
moderated. Of the moderated groups, only 125 have the word "moderated"
in the group name.

What your provider (or any other particular news server) carries is meaningless.
Many servers carry locally created groups for private purposes, that are not
distributed acroos the USEnet hierarchy. I have a dozen or so on my own news
servers at work.

Should I list the other 4,861 here, or email you the list?

Always looking to learn...

And I'd be glad to oblige you.

Email would be fine then. Thanks.
