[This was separately approved to sci.aeronautics by their
moderators, and is being manually reposted to the other
groups now by me]
I have been informally asked if I could pick up
moderation of the long-dormant newsgroup
sci.aeronautics.airliners . The news.announce.newgroups
team are performing a Moderator Vacancy Investigation
on that group now and are likely to remove the group
if someone does not take over moderation.
Before they decide what to do, I have suggested that we
poll some related newsgroups. The basic question is,
is there enough interest still in there being a separate
airliners newsgroup to reactivate sci.aeronautics.airliners ?
If yes, we will presumably restart the group and I would
be the moderator.
If not, presumably people will continue talking
about airliners in other related newsgroups that are
active or unmoderated, or the parent sci.aeronautics .
If not, we would let the group die and be removed rather
than me going to the effort of starting up moderation for
it again.
This is an informal interest poll not a vote.
To respond to the poll, please EMAIL your opinion
on this subject to me at:
gherbert@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
avoid my spamtraps, please use the word "AIRLINERS"
in the subject line, preferably in all caps.
This is not a vote and the results will be made public
only in summary form, but I may publish a list of who
responded. If you DO NOT want your name on that list
and want to remain anonymous please clearly say so in
your response, otherwise I will assume that it is ok
to include your name.
Please respond by no later than Friday, January 7, 2005.
I am picking a three week poll to ensure that a reasonable
number of people who may be on holiday break get a chance
to see the poll and respond to it.
Thank you.
