That some enterprising shortwave enthusiast starts up
a new moderated newsgroup on shortwave
radio so that all this off-topic political dross can be
banned/deleted.

I'd do it, but I just don't have the knowledge.
I'm sure some of you have.

Minge,

Oh what a GREAT GREAT idea !!! And I'm so sorry I don't have much
competence to do it either.
Prerequisites should be, IMHO :
- no "automatic" inscription posssible (ie you have to go through a
moderator before you can post)
- and some degree of moderation possible in order to eradicate the
commercial trash and useless political humdrum.
I DO resent all the *******s who will use just ANY chance they get, be
it on a site devoted to oriental cooking or goldfish breeding, to
inflict their monomaniac **** on innocent people's heads.
