I think this group can be written off as too low a signal to noise
ratio. One guy posts some drivel and a bunch of lamers start pounding
on him about it. The funny thing is they guy is posting just so he can
argue with the lamers.

Everyone can see what is going on, but this is what passes for fun in
r.r.a.a.

The current activity on rraa shows that there are people out there reading
the group postings. It could once again become an informative group if some
new topics could be introduced.

I'm not so sure. I was following the discussion on 60KHz loop
antennas with great interest, until it just faded away into several
useless diversions. It should have gone into personal experiences,
shielded vs unshielded loops, SPICE models (even if they are not
totally accurate), theory of operation, performance tests,
construction hints, etc. 46 messages by 9 individuals. For a topic
that should easily have been considered a new and informative topic,
it didn't attract 1/10th the attention of Gareth's muddled science
fiction antenna theory. No, I don't think picking a good topic is
going to help much. Self control might be more useful.

No science fiction there, OM.

Just because you don't understand the issues being raised
is no excuse for you to join the class of babbling infants.

I agree with Brian. If people would stop encouraging (replying to) him,
the S/N ratio would significantly decrease.

Unfortunately, there are a few who want to encourage him. I don't mind
if people talk *about* him - but people should stop responding to him.

Yeah, but those people like the drama as much as Gareth.

I guess this group is just done for.

I wouldn't say so so quickly; just get people to stop responding to Big G.

BTW - please let me know when the ukram vote comes up. I'm through with
the know-it-alls in uknnc.

I've seen this happen in normally unmoderated groups. Troll posts
disruptive post, group owner gets complaints, puts troll
on moderation list, troll is starved of attention, group recovers calm.
True, troll is seething and ranting but no one cares. His anger becomes
his
own padded cell, with him bouncing around in it.
Ignoring the troll has the same impact, as we've seen in uk.r.a, not to
mention the impact of my ignoring Evans for extended periods.

There has been no impact, for I continue to chastise you for being the
unruly and disruptive attention seeker that you have always presented as.

But unmoderated groups have now "owner" and no "moderation lists", so it
won't work here.

Yes, if only everyone would ignore him.
