An interesting sidelight which I just discovered is that 6 groups with
the word "moderated" in their names are actually unmoderated.

Probably because no one's willing to do the work any more.

Too bad, because if someone was willing, your ass would be the first
to get dumped. troll

No troll at all. This is a problem for numerous groups -- not just USEnet, but
also Google Groups. One specific example is rec.autos.sport.f1 moderated. It has
a moderation group in name only -- just try getting a response from them, or
approval as a new poster -- which is why the group has withered away to no
appreciable traffic. I'm sure you can find others in a similar state.
