   So, is talk of moderation off-topic too?  Do I need to get a special   
   room? padded perhaps? ...   
      
   No one has come forward in the three and a half years since Nathan   
   passed to moderate despite Frank asking for another moderator a few   
   times now, AIR.  (Is that correct Frank? ...)   
      
   While I understand the group's desire to perpetuate Chuck Crayne's   
   legacy and I understand some people's strong preference for moderation,   
   it would seem that the effort required to find and keep moderators has   
   exceeded the ability or willingness of the people posting to the group.   
      
   I.e., I'd recommend removing moderation whenever Frank decides to   
   finally call it quits.  My current impression is that he seems close   
   to doing so.  In the short term, CLAX could approve anything.  You may   
   need to filter the posts on your own end going forward.  In the long   
   term, moderation would need to be formally removed by Usenet.   
      
   Or, we could just say goodbye to CLAX, leaving it as it is.  We'd lose   
   the ability to post at some point in time, once Frank's and Nate's   
   accounts expire,  unless Wolfgang teaches us how to bypass moderation   
   and post anyway.
