In article <[email-masked]>,
>How do I use pine to post to a self moderated newsgroup?

I know of only two self moderated newsgroups, alt.hackers and
alt.sysadmin.recovery (According to hearsay. I haven't read either for
quite some time.) In both of those the purpose of the self moderation
is to avoid people who are unable to find out such things themselves.

Yes, this is elitism, but in the case of alt.hackers this is all that
prevents it from become the cesspool which alt.hacker is. (This, too,
according to hearsay.)

Just to get you started: All the information you need is in pine + an
average article in the newsgroup in question.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
