Hello Frank!
looks like I'm white-listed again :)

I think maybe the moderator is no longer available.

It's not looking likely.

My three posts to Frank didn't bounce.
But due to my new email address they may end up as spam.

That's sad! Someone needs to get in touch with the Big-8 board, and we need a
new moderator ASAP.
True.
But there's so little asm related traffic these days; I'm posting my asm
news:alt.lang.asm
and
news:comp.os.msdos.programmer
these days and there's not a lot happening there either.
I send an email to the Big-8 management board, here's the reply:

Can you do something to enable the formal search for a new moderator?
Oh dear, that is terribly sad news.

Was Mr. Kotler the sole moderator for comp.lang.asm.x86? I see that the
moderation mailbox for the newsgroup is <clax86-***@tmsw.no>,
presumably run by Terje Mathison who was also a contributor to the
group, but I'm not sure if he was also involved in moderation duties or
just hosted the mailbox for it.

Yes, we can certainly put out a call for a new moderator. In these
circumstances, this would mainly be a matter of finding one or more
volunteers who are willing to take on the work of regularly monitoring
the moderation mailbox and running some moderation software that sends
the approved messages to a news server.

Thank you for getting in touch and bringing this to our attention, and
hopefully we can find a way to get the group back into use promptly.

Kind regards,

OK, so we need a volunteer, I'm reluctantly willing to take up that role,
provided that

1) I'm not the only one,

and that

2) it can be done as automatically as possible on W7 and/or Android and/or a,
I'll fork out the money for it, Raspberry Pi,

because I also have other interests, last year I spent rather a lot of time on
the road, with just a smartphone to keep me in the loop.
