No, I didn't say that (no comment your your 'whole brain' there).

When I said "round up support" I did not mean "have them post in
news.groups." I meant, have conversations in the groups affected your
idea with the people who might be interested. I think I wrote something
about "gauging any interest."

If I'd meant "and have them post in news.groups" I would have said "and
have them post in news.groups."

And news.groups does not have "moderators" as an unmoderated group.
What news.groups is, is the group whose topic is discussing the
formation of new groups. You're confusing "moderators" with the 8
members of the "board" who vote on such things. And I've not seen any
of them posting in the thread.
