Mod groups are still being shaken out. I've found a number of problems (see
the articles I posted last night in net.news.adm) in sys files all over the
net-- this is keeping some of the standard distributions (especially mod
and na) from getting to sections of the net. Because of this I've 
significantly slowed the traffic in mod.singles-- I don't want to use it
heavily until I'm pretty sure most people will see it. Also, there have
been some hidden problems with generating good return addresses and how
that impacts distribution on the net (*sigh*) that can keep specific
messages out of certain areas of the net. I'm (slowly) working on some
administrative software that should deal better with that problem than my
current hack.

I don't think they are failures-- they are still being shaken down, and
since this is a volunteer effort they are being fixed only when there is
time to really work on it-- and that time has been rather rare recently.
