Actually, I wanted to discuss the issue first, before formally suggesting myself
as curator, in case other people were interested or whatever.

Actually, I used to be an NNTP user, but lately have been using the Web
interface because I only have time to visit Lugnet sporadically these days, and
would get too bogged down trying to follow all the groups I care about using
NNTP. I mainly look at the top stories on the homepage and a handful of groups'
active threads, rather than try to read everything.
I didn't see the instructions because I didn't look for them, and anyway, I
wanted to have some public discussion about it before making a formal
application.
I'll send the email now.
--Bill.
