   Again, it seems that you have missed the previous part of the   
   discussion, in spite of the low traffic at your site. It may be   
   that your spam filter has "false positives", that is, it interprets   
   as spam messages that are not spam.   
      
   As a person who has already helped to start newsgroups in the 80s,   
   I was aware of the process. Not wanting to make assumptions,   
   I decided to check again all appropriate FAQs, to see if anything   
   had changed. After this, following some private e-mail, we decided   
   that we did not want to touch the existing usenet comp.ai.fuzzy.   
   The discussion moved to the fact that some people may move   
   to a privately run and moderated newsgroup where currently   
   there is zero spam. That's it. No intention of preventing you   
   from reading about "Gwenyth Paltrow Sex Video Online".   
      
   So, to summarize: the present discussion is not about changing   
   in any way, including transforming from un-moderated to   
   moderated, a usenet newsgroup.   
      
   Best regards
