Hello,
My name is Ron, and I was the proponent who helped create
rec.ponds.moderated after the original rec.ponds became a disaster.

Many of the aquaria groups (both freshwater and saltwater) are
now being destroyed by the same things that destroyed rec.ponds.

If anyone reading this wants to take the lead in creating a
moderated newsgroup, I would be very, very willing to share all the
experience & info I picked up over the last 4-5 months.
I will not be the moderator (my health is poor, and this
aquaria subject really does not have much interest for me), but I
know what its like to have a favorite group destroyed.

So if anyone wants to take the lead, or just learn more about
how to go about creating a moderated group, please feel free to
contact me.

PS: despite extreme adversity, and no knowledge whatsoever at the
beginning of the process, we were successful. RPM is doing very
well.
Doing this process a second time would be much, much easier
than the first time, if the steps and experiences of rpm were to be
used as a template.

I don't frequent this group very often, so it would be best to email
me.

I don't get it, and can't. Many of us may well be in that boat, due
usenet in general (it's dying isn't it?). Few ISP's in New Zealand
carry any usenet - those that are left, usually do so via other major
providers. *Perhaps* RPM will be added, I have no control over the
process and don't expect to ever be able to get it.

you can get usenet "on the web" without an ISP providing the newsgroup.

there are several but the one above is free. Ingrid

www.aioe.org. Free newsfeeder, will add groups if you ask him.

Also Groups.Google.com. Web interface, but better than nothing.
