 Who determines which newsgroups exist and which are moderated? Can a 
 company decide that a newsgroup about their product is moderated? 
 The moderated status of two symbolic mathematics programs Maple and 
 Mathematica is different: Mathematica is moderated, Maple not. Some 
 people on the internet suggest that this is characteristic of the 
 difference between the two companies. Can Mathematica determine that 
 comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica is moderated?
