MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)
moderated group comp.software.year-2000.tech

This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because
moderated newsgroup comp.software.year-2000.tech is not functioning,
and may have been abandoned by its moderator(s).

This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function,
and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and instal-
lation of a new moderator. In practice, the Big-8 Management Board
considers the third alternative--changing the status of the group from
moderated to unmoderated--as likely to cause more harm than good.

RATIONALE:

According to Google's archive the last regular post was approved on
2000-11-09. A probe message resulted in a bounce.
