 I could use "LIST ACTIVE " to find those groups suffixed with 
 the ".moderated" string.  However, those groups are already obvious by 
 their name that they are moderated.  It's not those groups that a user 
 wouldn't know was moderated.  The user couldn't visit that group without 
 knowing it was moderated simply because .moderated was in its name. 
 "LIST ACTIVE" can't find groups that do NOT have the .moderated suffix 
 but which ARE moderated.  The wildmat parameter is defined in sec. 3.3 
 for RFC 2980.  It is used for string matching but applies against the 
 group name.  How does using "LIST ACTIVE" get me at some "m flag" to 
 find the moderated groups?  Does the LIST command return the newsgroup 
 names along with flags (i.e., a line has the newsgroup name and also 
 flags for that newsgroup)? 
  
 Know of any tutorials on how to setup a moderated newsgroup?  I don't 
 mean the RFD/CFV process to create the group but instead just how 
 moderation is setup.  For those that want to establish a moderated 
 group, isn't there any guides on how they might setup the processes to 
 handle the notification received from the NNTP servers along with what 
 actions the moderator performs and where those actions are committed? 
 Or is every setup different and variable for each moderated group (so 
 how would the NNTP admins know how to do notification)?
