moderated groups existed prior to 1986. They came about in 1984 when
Rick released B News 2.10. What came in 2.11 that Larry Auton (with
input from Mel Pleasant, too, as I remember) thought of was the idea
of the "newspaths" file to get submissions to the moderators.
Moderated groups weren't working well up to that point because the
users didn't like the idea of manually mailing things to the moderator.
