But the same rules should apply to them!  For example, there have been
no demonstrated volume of postings on gould bugs, nor a demonstrated
need for them.  Therefore, no need for a group to carry them.

It seems that the mod groups are legitimate for creation, by virtue of
the fact that they are moderated.  I suggest that mod groups go through
the same criteria for creation that the regular groups do.
