              MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)

              moderated group rec.travel.bed+breakfast



This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because

moderated newsgroup rec.travel.bed+breakfast 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

2006-02-17. A probe message resulted in a bounce.
