At that stage it was very active. Over time since then both<br /> moderators have resigned and the number of active/direct posts has<br /> diminished to the extent that I am the only active moderator and the<br /> last post I received for moderation was 12 months ago. All posts now<br /> coing in are autoposted spam. I think the group has now served its<br /> purpose but haven&#039;t yet been able to contact Bruce Baugh (the e-mail<br /> address from 1998 is no longer valid) who I think was instrumental in<br /> setting it up to ask his opinion of declaring it a dead group. I am<br /> happy to keep supporting it if it is felt there is case to maintain<br /> it but I think it is probably now dead.<br /> <br /> EXISTING CHARTER: comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated<br /> <br /> (None listed.)<br /> <br /> END CHARTER.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE:<br /> <br /> As this is fairly untested ground, we have decided to discuss the proposal<br /> publicly before anything is changed. Please discuss this proposal in<br /> news.groups.<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This RFD has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups<br /> comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated<br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Martin Tierney - Moderator, comp.os.ms-windows.win95.moderated<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY:<br /> <br /> 2006-05-22 RFD formatted by Tim Skirvin.<br /> 2006-05-01 Original e-mail received by B8MB.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
