creation by 306:23 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 23 Feb 1994.

Moderator contact address:  history-mod@netcom.com (A Cast of Dozens)

For your newsgroups file:
soc.history.moderated	All aspects of history. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

  The group will allow a free-flowing discussion of historical events
  and trends of _general_ intrest to the Usenet history devotees.  If
  desired later, this group will allow for subgroup formation into
  seperate historical periods and topics.

  The moderator will have broad powers to determine what topics are of general
  interest.  A non-exclusive list of post characteristics the moderator can
  use to determine the acceptance or rejection of a post for general posting
  in the group are:

                o ad-hominem attacks
                o flames
                o pathological cross-postings for a given posts
                  (for example, cross-postings to/from groups that
                   bear little relation to the nature of the post)
                o use of inappropriate vulgarisms in a post
                o general tastlessness in a post
                o a non-replyable e-mail address


  If the moderator so desires, she/he will respond to a rejected post stating
  the reasons for rejection, and if she/he so desires, suggesting modifications
  that will allow a modified post into the group.

  Lively, animated discussions on historical events or topics where there is
  genuine controversy, or where there is general consensus, are encouraged.
  Requests for information are also encouraged.

Moderators: Volunteers are very much still encouraged. Preliminary names
include the following:

                        Todd McComb   (mccombtm@netcom.com)
                        David Morton (gt2692@prism.gatech.edu)
                        Richard Miller (rick@crick.ssctr.bcm.tmc.edu)
                        Lance Visser (visser@dhostwo.convex.com)
                        Laura Mollett (Art History) (lcmoll00@aix3090b.uky.edu)
                        Jason Esser (BA History) (esse0002@gold.tc.umn.edu)
                        Gary Hewitt (glhewitt@phoenix.princeton.edu)
                        Laura Burchard (lhb@vnet.ibm.com)
                        Stephen Graham (graham@cs.washington.edu)
                        Stephen Balbach (?) (BA History) (stephen@clark.net)
                        Matthew Mckenzie (mmckenzi@uga.cc.uga.edu)
                        Mike Traynor (traynor@fnalo.fnal.gov)

More help would be appreciated.
