   If you think about it, it has to; however, some news clients make that   
   process transparent, i. e. you just go through the normal posting steps   
   as you see it, and the client does the necessary. I don't know if TB is   
   one such - I am not currently subscribed to any moderated 'groups.   
      
   I think in some cases there's a sort of central clearinghouse for such   
   posts, so the address details are common across many 'groups (the   
   central clearinghouse then forwards the messages to the relevant   
   moderator based on the 'group name); I'm not sure if 'groups _can_ opt   
   out of that system, or if they have to become mailing lists or some   
   other construct.

   Probably the newsgroup "charter", but I've no idea if there's a central   
   repository of those. It's usually included in a post not long after a   
   'group's creation, but of course that may have disappeared before the   
   server's retention period (or yours). Some 'groups repost their charter   
   (sometimes with revisions, sometimes not) at intervals, such as   
   annually. Not sure if those include moderator details, though.

   And on the question of authorship, I subscribe to the view that the   
   plays were not in fact written by Shakespeare but by someone of the   
   same name. - Hugh Bonneville (RT 2014/10/11-17)
