Nothing like stating the obvious. But then that assumes this group used
to be functional. Was this a viable group before QRZ polluted it?

Perhaps what you desire is a moderated ng where someone gets to decide
what is and what's not appropriate for posting. I never liked that idea
but some folks consider it an anti-spam measure. Does your newsreader
have a killfiles option? Just set it to automatically send posts you
don't want in your inbox to the trash. Problem solved. Sincerely, and
73s from N4GGO,


uk.radio.amateur.moderated is, IMO, a very good newsgroup.


Except QRZ posts their forums there as well. Why can't anyone get to the
people responsible and stop this?
