Is this a moderated newsgroup?

Really?

The post of yours that I replied to contained comments
on the railroad system, landline telegraph communications,
Knott's Berry Farm and other tourist attractions, stagecoaches, wives-
and-families, your lack of use of
Morse Code in military communications, your parents
watching the lunar landings on TV, and keyless auto security systems.

I don't see a single word from you in that posting
about "experimentation and building radio-electronics
in the home workshop."

It also contained this personal policy statement from you:

"I have nothing against telegraphic skills nor anyone using
those for personal pleasure. However, in the light of
advancement of the electronic arts, communications,
radio, methods that ALL of us can share, I think there
is an over-much emphasis by radio hobbyists on
telegraphic arts. Manual telegraphy IS a historic first
but it has been supplanted in practical communications
means at our disposal...on land, in the air, on the sea,
and in space.

I think we should be looking FORWARD to the future, not
back to the past. Others disagree. I leave it at that."

Sure sounds like you were having a policy discussion
to me!

Jim, N2EY
