He could post to the rec.radio.amateur.moderated, and he isn't likely to
get an answer. Except for the filler crossposted between there and other
newsgroups, it's a pretty dead newsgroup, has been since the beginning.

He (and you and anyone else) is welcome in uk.radio.amateur.moderated.
It's fairly low-traffic at the moment, but the discussions so far have
been of high quality. Quality, not quantity.

Especially if you like computers, fixing the causes of broken web
sites, or reading the occasional snow report. There's rather less
mention of Amateur Radio topics.

You continue to fail to understand that uk.r.a.m is not a 100%
strictly-highy-technical-only-about-amateur-radio newsgroup. It's
supposed to like the uk.r.a cesspool could be - if it wasn't for all the
****.

However, as the number of posts declines after the initial enthusiasm
has worn off, the group needs all the posts it can get. Three posters,
one of which has limited technical knowledge, post one quarter of al
traffic to date. Half of the 58 contributors to date post less than
once a week. A disturbing proportion of those that voted for the group
have neither posted at all, or posted a few times and have since disappeared

I have to admit that I really can't work up the enthusiasm to be
'disturbed' by it.

Moderation ensures that posts from the demented idiot who wrecks
uk.radio.amateur complete with malicious crossposts to .antenna,
..equipment, .homebrew etc. to maximise the annoyance factor simply don't
see the light of day.

That also goes for those who have spent the last three years wrecking
havoc on UKRA. But it should be noted that these people post far more
on UKRA than UKRAM. I'm not of the psychopathology that drives these
actions, but it's interesting to watch.

If I could make an observation:
I might be wrong, but I get the impression that since the creation of
uk.r.a.m, in this cesspit there actually seems to have been an increase
in the number of ****-free posts. Maybe some are learning from
uk.r.a.m's example?

Come along and say hello.

Please do.

Oh, do come along. You actually might enjoy it!
