Amateur Radio Newsgroups: Total Meltdown
Paul W. Schleck (K3FU) on April 26, 2006


Way back in 1972, before there was a World-Wide Web, even before there

This is a very predictable post from the indivdual involved. It also
pretty much ignores the details about how Usenet moderated groups have
traditionally worked.

[...]

Don't let the control freaks like Schleck attempt to have their way
(BTW, he's in my kill file and has been there for years). Make a
serious effort to take responsibility for what you read yourself.

PSSSSSTTTT!!!

Since Stagger Lee has me in his kill file, and thus won't see this
article, I can let the rest of the newsgroup in on a little secret.

Most of the points in his post were anticipated, and rebutted, in the
third post of mine, made on April 27th, to the QRZ/eHam thread that has
been relayed by an anonymous user to this newsgroup. It wasn't me (I
always post from Novia), but it's probably just as well that the matter
has broken open for discussion here.

You can view the entire threads of discussion at:

and

Furthermore, any proposed moderated newsgroup will have a team of
moderators, applying objective moderation criteria to be decided upon,
and announced before, any newsgroup approval or creation. Volunteer
moderators have been, and will be, solicited.

In the meantime, if anyone is sincerely interested in joining such a
team, please contact me at my E-mail address above.

Remember, mum's the word! SHHHHHHH!!!
