This is a Request for Discussion (RFD) to create a new moderated
discussion newsgroup for amateur radio on Usenet. It has been relayed

the RFD. Please consider contributing your opinions regarding this
newsgroup to news.groups.proposals, where followups to this message have

Hi Paul,

I consider the following an artificial solution:
The main alternatives a

1. Make rec.radio.amateur.moderated an all-encompassing moderated amateur
radio discussion newsgroup.

2. Keep the topics focused on misc and policy, and come up with a
better name for our proposed misc+policy moderated amateur radio
discussion newsgroup.
3. Instruct participants in the use of web tools so that they can
filter out abusive topics or abusive users. Very simple with today's
readers.

Solution 3 can be immediately implemented and requires no further
fragmentation of the news feed. Solution 3 is also democratic
compared to the possibility of the abuse by autocracy.
