To the moderators of rec.radio.amateur.moderated; Please stop posting
these blog echos here. I'd like to see this group be a useful place to
discuss homebrew equipment, but your posts drown out any useful content
that might happen.

Can't you stick to your own moderated group? You have managed to kill
it off with virtually no postings other than the blog echos you seem
obsessed with.

It appears you do not understand "moderated newsgroups"...

When someone, e.g. KB6NU, posts a message to multiple newsgroups that
include a moderated group, e.g.:
Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.moderated,rec.radio.amateur.home brew
the news posting software will recognize this and instead of posting
it will mail the message to the moderator of the moderated group, who
will then post the message in both groups.

So, when you see a multiposted message in a moderated and non-moderated
group, it will appear like it is being posted by the moderator, but in
reality there is someone else who has originally submitted the message.

In this case that may be KB6NU or someone else who likes to relay those
blog messages to usenet, but the poster is not necessarily related
to the moderator of the group.


Incorrect on several counts. First of all, this is not a moderated
newsgroup. Second of all, if you look at the headers, it is NOT KB6NU
who is posting to the group - it is panix.com.

Apparently you did not even bother to read it... the messages are
posted to TWO newsgroups, one moderated and one not moderated. That
leads to the mechanism I describe.

It *could* happen. Or, as I believe is the case, the originators could
(with the permission of the moderators!) include in the original message
the approval headers needed for its display in the moderated group,
bypassing any direct involvement of the group moderators. And bypassing
submission to the moderation email address.
