The moderation software for comp.std.c++ was hosted on my account on a
machine at the University of Melbourne. The university removed my
account, and I have not found time
to do anything about it. My sincere apologies to all of the users of
comp.std.c++.

My life circumstances have changed quite a bit in the years since I
first volunteered to
run the comp.std.c++ moderation software. Back then I was a postgrad
student with lots of time. Since then, I now have a few more
committments... a job, a wife, a daughter.

If someone else wanted to take on the role, I would be quite happy to
relinquish it.

Can you re set it to unmoderated until there is some one else to take
over?
