Summary: further proof that the new mod groups are a bad idea

This is a perfect example of why it was a dumb idea to convert the fa groups
into mod groups. info-applebus is not a moderated group, it is an ARPAnet
mailing list with a "mail reflector".

Whenever you try to make one thing masquerade as something it's not, whether
it has to do with computers or with cutlery, people are going to be fooled.
A group with the name "mod.xxx" should have a moderator, and many (most) of
these ARPAnet groups do not have moderators.
