I realize moderation has been going on for some time, and that the
ideal solution would be to do the whole thing without paying a cent.
There are few programs out there that are suitable for a bunch of
folks moderating a newsgroup. The fact that there are several
moderators precludes using a system set up for only one. ISP
constraints and "lag time," or the time between when a post is made
and when in actually appears after moderation tend to work against any
email type scheme.

Listserv has a web interface. I use it daily for the admin/moderator tasks.


PS: We have had multiple moderators on rec.hunting since 1992 (when I
took over) using Listserv.
