and now you know ~ RHF

Now we know why this group has become almost useless.

I don't know about that; the arguments about
IBOC have been on topic for the most part.
Killfiling keeps the crud down, too.

The arguments about IBOC are not on target in my opinion, mainly
because they aren't really "arguments". David Eduardo will come on
hear
and say absolutely anything to get people worked up. He doesn't care
about the state of AM or the nature of IBOC. He cares about saying
absolutely anything that will ruffle feathers, period. A few of the
people on here got fed up and razzed him and, to be honest, I'm
grateful to them. This group does not have a moderator and so we
have
to do whatever it takes to keep assholes like Eduardo from hijacking
the group. Otherwise RRS really will become useless.

True, he does do that, and yes I understand your
point. rec.games.board is a shadow of what it
once was, since most people moved off of it
to boardgamegeek.com.

I still hold out the hope that someone will start a group that's
just
like RRS, but that's moderated. Then we won't have to tolerate any
of
this BS.

I doubt that will happen. I looked into it a while
back, and it does take a bit of effort to get a
moderated group together. Additionally, you'd
need someone who has a lot of time on their
hands to be moderator (due to ng traffic), and
the only ones I could think of with the time and the
technical knowledge of shortwave to do it -Ace
and Mike M.- don't really want a moderated
group.
