No posting flag

Hi,

I thought it might be worth forwarding this remark from D. Stussy in
news.software.nntp <news:[email protected]>.

" (No Posting)" or " (No posting)" maybe should be added to the newgroups line.

Instead of:

      newsgroups-line     = newsgroup-name
                               [ 1*HTAB newsgroup-description ]
                               [ *WSP moderation-flag ]
      moderation-flag     = SP "(" %x4D.6F.64.65.72.61.74.65.64 ")"
                               ; SPACE + case sensitive "(Moderated)"

having status-flag which can be moderation-flag or nopost-flag.
