This forum is so good it's beyond belief!
This forum has been so instrumental in my learning scripting and unix commands that I seriously can't believe it and have been advertising it to everyone I know. I started from almost zero knowledge and within a few months I already feel much less ignorant.
The amount of information and enthusiasm of the participants is incredible. The moderator has also been helpful more than a few times. No one backs down from a question and everyone I have dealt with so far recognizes that we aren't at the same skill level. They are also happy to give constructive criticism to my posts when necessary.
When I reach to a higher level of unix knowledge, I hope to give back some of what I've received here. This forum is truly amazing, and I was searching for information on a pattern sed command here today and within less than 30 minutes I found what I was looking for without even posting!
Thanks to all!

MODERATORS(5) File Formats Manual MODERATORS(5)
NAME
moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups
DESCRIPTION
The GetModeratorAddress(3) routine reads the file /etc/news/moderators to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup. This is
used by inews(1) when an unapproved local posting is made to a moderated newsgroup.
The file is read until a match is found. Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored. All other lines should
consist of two fields separated by a colon.
The first field is a wildmat(3)-style pattern. If it matches the name of the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format
string for sprintf(3). This string should have at most one %s parameter, which will be given the name of the newsgroup with periods
transliterated to dashes.
Here is a sample file:
foo.important:announce-request@foo.com
foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com
gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu
*:%s@uunet.uu.net
Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in the left column will be sent to the address shown in the right column:
foo.important announce-request@foo.com
foo.x.announce foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com
gnu.emacs.sources gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
comp.sources.unix comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net
