Where are all the

Almost all have left. I've tried on here over the past few months. I
really have.

The spam and childish infighting is making these group all but
unreadable anymore.

There are some good yahoo groups like DXLD and other shortwave
groups.

This group has slowly been reduced to it's lowest common denominator.
It's no longer worth monitoring for any useful shortwave information.
I occasionally check to see if anything has improved but it appears to
be hopeless. There are plenty of other shortwave groups and forums where
you can participate without expecting to see your post hijacked and then
deteriorate into a food fight. You also won't have to waste your time
keeping kill files up to date. The subject of a moderator comes up now
and then but don't expect that to ever happen. In fact, it's time for
Usenet to cancel this group. Then perhaps someone can start a new
moderated Usenet shortwave group.
