The B8MB plans to begin voting on this proposal after five days.  Please
offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting

RATIONALE: remove rec.toys.transformers.moderated

There has been virtually no on-topic traffic in RTTM in the last five
years.  In the meantime, the unmoderated group that it was originally
meant to supplement (alt.toys.transformers) has thrived.  Given that
there is no reason for the group to exist, the remaining technical
moderator suggests that it should be removed. 

HISTORY: 

rec.toys.transformers.moderated was originally created in April 1998, as
part of the rec.toys.transformers.* hierarchy.
