I recently took over as the moderator of the misc.business.product-dev newsgroup. It is my intention to make it into a good resource for all aspects of product development.

I have set up moderation software and have gotten the group off to a
slow start by inviting my buddies over on comp.arch.embedded to participate. I am now ready to invite more users.

Here is how the moderation works:

Crossposts to one other non-moderated newsgroup are allowed and welcome.
That way you can simply keep posting here as you usually do except for
crossposting to sci.electronics.design,misc.business.product-dev
instead of just posting to ,sci.electronics.design.

I will approve your first post (expect a delay until the next time I log in as moderator - I do this several times per day) and will add most posters to the whitelist so that all future posts from them are autoapproved without delay.

All posts will be approved unless they are obviously spam, off-topic,
or trolling. If you read the read the thread in m.b.p-d, you will only see posts that are not trolling, flaming, political/religious posts, etc. I will *not* censor posts for content as long as they have at least a marginal connection with product development.

Right now misc.business.product-dev is pretty much a dead group, but I am hoping that I can revive it. I can't do it alone, so I am asking for your help. 

Ah, a Guy-Macon-censored version of s.e.d.

======================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: If the need is there, someone is going to meet it... :) 

Since s.e.d. is unmoderated, why is there a moderator's comment in my
post? That implies that Guy can, in fact, edit my posts. Which clearly
sucks.

Because he xposted his announcement here (sed) and to his shiny new wastelanH^H^Hmoderated group. Your newsreader, like most, assumed by default that you wanted your reply xposted too.
