We have a few options, and I will lay them out.
1. Close the newsgroup.
This is effectively what has happened anyway. If selected, I will
send a notice to various people r.a.h-e is now dead, and some
servers will stop carrying it. Others won't. Without a live
moderator, no more messages will ever appear.
This is surely the best option. Usenet doen't need another newsgroup
full of spam. Nothing good is going to be posted here.
I'd rather no moderation than ending the group. Then, if *you* don't like
the results you can unsubscribe. It gives the readers the option rather than
it being arbitrarily decided for them.
