REPLACEMENT MODERATOR FOUND
comp.binaries.cbm

The Big-8 Management Board is pleased to announce that Six of DLOC has
volunteered to take on moderation duties for comp.binaries.cbm. The
group is now open for submissions.

Note to news server administrators: unlike other groups in the Big 8, 
comp.binaries.cbm is intended for posting binary files. It is a 
low-traffic, moderated newsgroup carrying binaries for 8-bit Commodore 
computers, so it is not likely to take up much disk space or bandwidth, 
and distribution of copyrighted software is prohibited by the group's 
charter. If you are doing anything to filter out binaries in the Big 8, 
you may therefore want to make an exception for this group. 

This announcement has not been crossposted to comp.binaries.cbm, as the 
group's FAQ prohibits crossposts. However, a copy has been submitted to 
the group separately.

CHARTER AND MODERATION POLICY FOR COMP.BINARIES.CBM:

The newsgroup is for the purpose of swapping 8bit Comodore [sic] Binaries,
mainly mainly for the 64 and 128 computers. The moderator will attempt to
filter out copyrighted software, and insure that the programs work,
although it is impossible to verify all software for all systems.
