Default RFD for new UK amateur radio group

Hello .misc, .antenna and .homebrew! I've been watching with a degree of
sadness these last few days as Gareth Alun Evans G4SDW has poured buckets
of idiocy into .antenna. He's a notorious and pernicious troll with going
on for a two decade history of troublemaking on Usenet, primarily in
uk.radio.amateur but there have been many groups that he's upset over the
years, all in the archives.

As a result of Gareth's long-term and determined campaign to foul ukra, the
desire for a moderated version, UK-centric and free of abuse, has grown.
There is an RFD currently under discussion in uk.net.news.config. Gareth
has, of course, blown a fuse and has filled that group with his insanity.
Happily, he's largely being ignored so isn't getting his own way and
causing trouble.

If you have an interest in amateur radio discussion on Usenet, please pop
over to unnc and join in the debate. If you support the group creation and
would make use of it, please post a message to the RFD saying as much.

Thanks for reading, folks!

Gareth isn't the only troll we would rid ourselves of. And even non-UK
members can enjoy a troll-free zone.
