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. 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

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.

Come along and say hello.

Please do.
