Improve the Rec.Radio.Shortwave Newsgroup

Again I Repeat - One Positive Post that is about Shortwave Radio
does Four Times (4X) More Good in Keeping this Newsgroup
"Focused" On-Topic then Off-Topic (OT) Posts -or- Atacks on
'other' Members of the Newsgroup.
A Positive Shortwave Radio or Radio Related Post can
and does often generate a follow-up Reply by someone
else and that becomes the beginning of Real Content
for other Readers to R-E-A-D ! *{Good Content
}
People come here to R-E-A-D and Post -but- It Most Often
Starts with Reading and then a Reply. *{Good Content}
On the Average One Good Original On-Topic Post will
generate Four or More Replies. {Good Content
}
All Open Un-Moderated Newsgroups have their Off-Topic Posts
and SPAM [BAD CONTENT] -but- The Good Newsgroups also
have a Larger Share (Much More) of their {Good Content
}
It is the S/N Ratio of {Good Content
} over [BAD CONTENT]
that makes a Newsgroup Interesting-to-Read and -imho- a
Good Newsgroup.
Again Reap-What-You-Sow : The Challenge for Everyone
Once-a-Week Endeavor To :
* Post an Answer to One Newbies Question
* Post One Shortwave Radio Reception Report (SWR3)
* Post One : Me-Too / Atta-Boy / That Was Interesting
Reply to a Post that you though was deserving.
* Post Info about One Website that is Shortwave Radio
or Radio Related.
+ That Something Extra that is Uniquely You
)
Imagine Yourself and 20 Other Members of this Newsgroup
Being Positive Contributers to this Newsgroup and Posting
Four (4) such Messages and Replies each Week : That
would add-up to 80 Messages about 11 per Day for each
Day of the Week. *The Quality Signal Level would Go Up
and even -if- the Noise Level stayed the same the Signal
to Noise Level would improve Greatly.
Everyone - It's Your Newsgroup -but- Only -if- You Contribute
in a Positive Way -by- Being-a-Contributor "Poster" and not
simply a Reader {Consumer}.
- - =PS= Newsgroup "Consumers" -aka- Readers : Take That
- - First-Step and Post a simple "Atta-Boy" or "Ditto That" reply.
- -
- - Knocking On "The-Other-Guy" simply makes you out to be
- - one more Whiner and simply adds to the Noise Level of the
- - Newsgroup.
- - -and- I Believe That Each of You Are Better Than That.
- -
- - Everyone - Be Better At Being Yourself - Love The Reason
- - For You Being Here as a Member of Rec.Radio/Shortwave :
- - More Than You Hate Anyone Else Here.

- Some very good suggestions here.
-*I think you could almost make this a mantra to live by
- if you just changed the subject newsgroups to life in general.
- *Thanks.
BAJ - Thank You for the "Positive" Reply. Hopefully
'being here' is a "positive" experience for everyone.
if not - why be here . . . ~ RHF
