We could do this -- and in fact, this was the effective set up until a
couple of weeks ago.  We'd set it up as a moderated group, so that
/every/ message is held for approval.  I'd have to investigate, but we
probably don't want to hold messages that originate on Usenet.  Of
course, gating back to Usenet will still be held up for c.l.py.a's
moderators.

Still, I'd rather not do this.  It would be best to get more
moderators helping out with the c.l.py.a content.
