Part of what worries me about digitalmars.D.moderated, what will be the
focus of the newsgroup? When will one post on moderated vs. d.announce
or d.D or d.learn? Also, I'm not so sure the D community has enough
manpower to pull it off, either.
I'm not familiar with c++.moderated though, so maybe I'm missing a piece
of the puzzle.
