comp.lang.c does have a lot of off-topic traffic.  I personally don't
think that reviving comp.lang.c.moderated would be a good solution to
that.  My personal preference would be for clcmod to remain the way it
is: an inactive newsgroup whose old articles are still available on NNTP
servers with sufficiently long memories.  One way to do that would be
just to leave it out of the proposed mass-deletion.  Another would be
for a new moderator to take over but not approve any posts, perhaps with
an email auto-responder to let any posters know what's going on.

But I'm open to seeing clcmod revived if there's enough demand, and
perhaps helping out somehow.
