Really?

Most people have absolutely no problem with moderated groups, which
they find pleasantly free of crap.

Over the past 10 years, on several occasions I've tried to post
perfectly innocuous and on-topic comments in
rec.radio.amateur.moderated. So far, not one has appeared. What am I
doing wrong?

Maybe using the wrong news provider. Not all news providers have their
servers configured to handle moderated newsgroups properly.

Otherwise, have you asked the moderator?

My news reader (Demon's 'Turnpike') has the 'moderated' box checked in
the configuration for rec.radio.amateur.moderated (which is the default
when you add a new NG which is moderated). I don't think that there have
been problems with other moderated NGs although, these days, I only post
occasionally in uk.legal.moderated.

Otherwise, have you asked the moderator?

No. Apathy is my middle name!

** You are not a drinkin' bud of the moderator / censor?
You are not a groupie of one of the alpha males in the Newsgroup?
You do not periodicly osculate the posterior of the moderator?
You do not belong to the same country club as the above?

I have received advice which leads me to suspect that my news machine
may, in the case of rec.radio.amateur.moderated, be sending my posts to
the wrong email address. If so, this would explain the problem.

** Indeed K. My experience has been that moderated Newsgroups are not
infrequently moderated by wannabe channel cops and by guys whose wives
wear the pants.

..snip.. are you comfortable with the statement: that dipmeters are
useless because they simultaneously couple to everything within several
feet? or how anout: resistance wire has reverse RF skin-effect at HF?



Dip meters do couple to conductors in the near field.
Current density of resistive wire does increease with depth. Call that
reverse skin effect if you like?

Hmmm...you have been jackbooted off several moderated groups, you say?

Why ever would that happen? :-)

€€ does the near field extend more than 6" from the pickup coil?

€€ That was not what he was asserting. His position was that the RF-R of
Ni-Cr resistance-wire behaved opposite to
that of Cu wire at HF. Do you agree Brian?
