With all of the "chatter" I have been following this thread with great
interest. What with all the killfiles from this group there is still
alot of trash to sift through to get to a real radio post.

Rec.radio.shortwave used to be one of the most informative and
interesting groups on the internet. Unfortunately those days are long
gone because so many good posters have been driven away by the never
ending noise that comes from a relatively small group of individuals.

Awhile back I emailed a few of the old timers who once made the
group such a valuable resource for the shortwave hobby. I asked why
they no longer post. All cited the same reason - they don't have the
time to wade through the bs.

Two of them specifically mentioned the person who posts as RHF as the
reason they don't even bother visiting to browse much less post.

RHF's apparent obsessive compulsive disorder (over 30,000 postings)
and his uniquely unreadable style (yeah we are all clicking and poring
over the dozen links you so generously share) is annoying enough.

But what they resented most was his chronic violation of the most
basic of rules of "nettiquete" - specifically, injecting himself into
every thread and changing the subject header.

This is not only rude and disrespectful to the original poster it also
makes scanning old topics for something that might interest you
difficult and time consuming because he has wiped out the original
headline.

This is not a new complaint, many others have voiced the same
sentiment and have asked him to stop. Not stop posting, just stop
ruining other people's posts and the group. But he won't.

Nothing can be done about it and RHF knows it. What a guy.
