Far be it from me to argue with a moderator's word...except when he's
wrong...but if you're going to argue terminology, the proper term is
"echo", not conference OR newsgroup.  To qualify as a newsgrop, the name
would have to be much longer - something like:
comp.lang.asm.x86.moderated.useful
As opposed to the normal `comp.lang.asm.x86.moderated', which would
follow the normal Usenet convention of disallowing any useful
conversation. 
    Later,
