#80776 — Ping: Keith Thompson and James Kuyper

Please could you send an email to "board@big-8.org" to show your 
willingness to be the two new moderators of

"comp.lang.c++.moderated"
"comp.lang.c.moderated"

so that we can start to reopen those defunct newsgroups.

Please see my previous posts about this matter which I have quoted below:

Thank you for this if you can do this sometimes this week.

When comp.lang.c++ gets a single digit number of posts a day I fail to see
the point of a moderated group that will probably attract almost none. There's
probably a good reason the above groups are defunct.

I'd even forgotten I'm subscribed to them both. There are no recent post 
on either.

That's because the moderation server got lost years ago, so you just 
cannot post anything, even if you want to.

I think "Real Troll" originally posted in another newsgroup, probably
something under news.*.  Does anyone know which newsgroup it was?
(I'm mildly curious.)

His first related post [Tue, 3 Aug 2021 23:25:13 +0100] included the 
group news.groups.
