I don't like this language; while moderators can add moderator's
comments or strip signatures, there is a strong Usenet consensus that
moderators should not be rewriting submitted articles (instead they
should reject the article perhaps with suggestions as to what would make
it acceptable). Yet you are saying "He MAY modify the article...."
For what moderated groups that you know of is rewriting articles
by the moderator acceptable?
