There's one reason that Len wouldn't make a good moderator.

Again, when will you guys quit, let's cut straight to the chase--seems
no one would make a good moderator, excepting those with extra licenses.
If push comes to shove, probably the best compromise you could expect
is they would allow a general in ...

I think you should quit, anonymous John. Which general--Wesley Clark?

You seem to see some conspiracy in the creation of the moderated
newsgroup. There are other moderated newsgroups which work quite well.
There are a number of moderated e-mail reflectors which works quite
well. No one who behaves as Len Anderson is permitted to post to the
topband reflector, the Ten-Tec reflector, The Butternut antenna
reflector or the DX reflector. No Mark Morgans issue countless "Wogger
on rrapage" posts. No Roger Wisemans foul the reflectors with demented
filth.

As soon as one of Len's tirades veered off course into an anti-ARRL
rant, filled with "tsk, tsk" and "poor baby", his post would be dumped.
His "Spanky Spanky", "Herr Oberst", "Sister Nun of the Above" and the
like would get him banned in short order. He'd have to behave or he'd
be given the boot.

It really is that simple.

Well then, anyone with less than a general would be a good candidate for
support to "Joe Blow Ham." Well, as long as they weren't a good ole'
buddy of the "evil extras."

Maybe one extra, one general, one tech, etc. Can't see how that would
look "stacked", long as they demonstrated they weren't all "good ole'
buddies."

Many ways really, only one not acceptable really ... extra, extra read
all about it ...

You know, I am glad you brought this all up.

No, not a conspiracy in terms of "gov't. conspiracy." Just normal
"human conspiracy", like when the republicans oppose the democrats and
the reverse, and they get together and put together a "game plan." Just
dirty little street smart tricks and tactics to get ones wishes put over
on another. Like when you call up a friend and get him to help and/or
support what you wish to accomplish, or join a group or club which
supports your interests, or join a lobbying group, etc.

You know, exactly what Mr. Schleck is so good at, why I call him
"political", why I refer to those aiding him in his "game plan", the
henchmen. You know, like stacking the deck with all extras which are in
agreement with him and have egos equal his size.

Ban Len, you mentioned banning Len in your post I am responding to?
Well yes, that is "part of the game plan" I would imagine, and anyone
else not falling into the moderated plan.

Yes, that is what they EXACTLY have in mind, take a public newsgroup and
turn it into a "good ole' boys club."

Well, if that is what they want, let them engage in a private forum
which is available on the internet. You know, they can set up a room
for themselves on an instant messenger. They can create a private chat
room on IRC. Hell, they can set up a private email list and sit there.

Why confuse a public newsgroup with a private chat room or private
instant messenger chat room.

Naaa, that "Military Conspiracy" stuff is all theirs. That is why they
have to run things they way they are attempting ...
