Group submission address: soc-history-mod@bcm.tmc.edu Moderator contact address: history-mod@netcom.com (A Cast of Dozens) For your newsgroups file: soc.history.moderated All aspects of history. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: The group will allow a free-flowing discussion of historical events and trends of _general_ intrest to the Usenet history devotees. If desired later, this group will allow for subgroup formation into seperate historical periods and topics. The moderator will have broad powers to determine what topics are of general interest. A non-exclusive list of post characteristics the moderator can use to determine the acceptance or rejection of a post for general posting in the group are: o ad-hominem attacks o flames o pathological cross-postings for a given posts (for example, cross-postings to/from groups that bear little relation to the nature of the post) o use of inappropriate vulgarisms in a post o general tastlessness in a post o a non-replyable e-mail address If the moderator so desires, she/he will respond to a rejected post stating the reasons for rejection, and if she/he so desires, suggesting modifications that will allow a modified post into the group. Lively, animated discussions on historical events or topics where there is genuine controversy, or where there is general consensus, are encouraged. Requests for information are also encouraged. Moderators: Volunteers are very much still encouraged. Preliminary names include the following: Todd McComb (mccombtm@netcom.com) David Morton (gt2692@prism.gatech.edu) Richard Miller (rick@crick.ssctr.bcm.tmc.edu) Lance Visser (visser@dhostwo.convex.com) Laura Mollett (Art History) (lcmoll00@aix3090b.uky.edu) Jason Esser (BA History) (esse0002@gold.tc.umn.edu) Gary Hewitt (glhewitt@phoenix.princeton.edu) Laura Burchard (lhb@vnet.ibm.com) Stephen Graham (graham@cs.washington.edu) Stephen Balbach (?)
