Larry's idea of an article 0 sounds great to me.  I certainly is
1. conceptually clean, and
2. easy to automate.

When a group starts up, the control message can contain the article 0,
and another control message can override it.  This can be applied to
mod.all groups and fa.all groups to include the name/addr of the
moderator, so that changing moderators can be done pretty easily by
updating the moderator name.  (Maybe this can be used to force news
to reply to the moderator mentioned there rather than following up in
the usual way.)

Thanx, Larry.  Good one.
