Do you see the word "moderated" in the name of the group?

Many, if not most, moderated newsgroups do not have the word "moderated"
in the name.

Still, this group is not moderated.

After the 'quality' of the replies you've recieved, isn't it obvious?

Oh? Can you name a few, please?

Always looking to learn...

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.

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

And I'd be glad to oblige you.

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

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.

Email would be fine then. Thanks.

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