REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group soc.religion.christian
This is a formal Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove moderated
newsgroup soc.religion.christian.
RATIONALE:
According to David Kleinecke the group has stopped functioning.
The last post was approved on 2009-09-30.
A probe post showed no result.
David Kleinecke sent a mail in which he volunteered to take over mod-
eration. However, on 2010-03-21 he declared that he has no desire to
do so.
Message-ID: <20a2068a-c67c-42e5-9878-a087b3eaff4d@s2g2000prd.googlegroups.com>
Timothy Sutter posted to news.groups.proposals that he is willing to
moderate soc.religion.christian.
Message-ID: <4BA55798.873@lycos.com>
However, his erratic behavior in the following discussions, a series
of about 40 posts to soc.religion.christian using rogue approvals, and
the contents of alt.god.timothy.sutter show that he is unsuitable. He
should never have been listed as an option. The proponent apologizes
for not doing a background check in advance.
