At least two other people have suggested that the news software somehow
automatically update the moderators list. This is especially important
now that the net has a large number of mod lists. To that end, I 
advocate the addition of a moderators control message that will
automatically update the moderators file when the site understands
domain addressing (i.e INTERNET is defined in the defs.h file when
making the news software) or will notify the news administrator that a new
list it in so s/he can update it.

I have already submitted code to add this message to the news 2.10.3 alpha
release to rick@seismo, spaf@gatech, and mark@cbosgd in an effort to 
facilitate its addition to the new news software.

Please feel free to share your comments here or via mail to me.

REMEMBER: This is a proposal, not the way it is. I hope that it becomes this
way, but if you don't like the idea, chime in.
