Who runs this group? Does anybody screen the hundreds of OT posts about
politics and hucksters trying to sell their junk? Where are all the
ecellent technical posts about radio repair, QSL's, program highlights,
reciever discussions and opnions and reminiscing? Antenna for SWL, Ham
and BC? Backyard antennas, shack photos? Manual swaps? This place looks
like CB sounds like anymore.

You're not even in charge of yourself. You're just a welfare-sucking
loser who only has his radios and QSL collection to remind yourself
how great you once hoped to be.

Prediction: Steve can't respond without insulting someone else.

Yes I do have some nice radios. Much nicer than yours. Suffer!

Yes, I do have some nice QSL's (veries, for those in Glendale) Much nicer than

You used to say I was lying about being a college professor. Then you

Come to think of it, there probably is no good justification for

This group has slowly been reduced to it's lowest common denominator.
It's no longer worth monitoring for any useful shortwave information.
I occasionally check to see if anything has improved but it appears to
be hopeless. There are plenty of other shortwave groups and forums where
you can participate without expecting to see your post hijacked and then
deteriorate into a food fight. You also won't have to waste your time
keeping kill files up to date. The subject of a moderator comes up now
and then but don't expect that to ever happen. In fact, it's time for
Usenet to cancel this group. Then perhaps someone can start a new
moderated Usenet shortwave group.

You are spot on the mark. Several years ago this was a fantastic site
for shortwave information. The best and the brightest contributers are
no longer here because they grew sick and tired of
wading through his never ending barrage of garbage.

It is a real shame because they are veteran shortwavers who
love the hobby who want to preserve it and pass along their expertise
to others considering taking up our wonderful hobby. Classy
individuals who are willing to share their time helping newbies, but
too well balanced and socially adjusted to waste large chunks of
their time dealing with the lonely losers who currently dominate rrs.

The destruction of the group is the work of a relatively small number
of posters but one individual - ROY FISK of Twain Harte, California
has done the most damage. A click on his profile reveals that he has
made 20,680 postings as of today. He has changed email addys several
times so the number of his postings is actually much higher - well
over 30,000.

He is a retired government bureaucRAT who has nothing but free time
and uses it to destroy rec.radio.shortwave by changing the subject
heading of nearly every posting. Thereby effectively eliminating rrs
as a useful resource for shortwavers because it makes browsing the
group for shortwave info virtually impossible.

What he is doing to this group is equivalent of walking into your
local library and ripping up its card catalog everyday.

That is why the great guys from the past don't even bother to browse
and contribute here anymore - even if the original postings are about
shortwave they can't find it because the header has been changed to
whatever off topic bs Roy Fisk changes it to.

What is interesting is that goofballs like you always show up and
complain about the state of the news group but never contribute any
worthwhile posts themselves.

This is an active news group with no chance of it being killed off.

This news group will not ever be moderated as it was not created that
way.

In 2004, I bought a Velocity Micro ProMagix desk top computer from the

www.velocitymicro.com I hardly use my computer.I like to read online
newspaper around the World and science and technology sites.I can do
that with my Philips MAT 976 Plus WebTV box.No computer viruses and crap
to worry about either, WebTV doesn't have a hard drive.
But, you know how it goes, everybody hates WebTV.I have been using WebTV
since October 1999.I am going to stay with WebTV/MSN TV untill they
decide to pull the plug or I croak first, whatever.

Nobody. This is not a forum on AOL, a chat room on MSN, or some other
such thing. This is a newsgroup on Usenet, a throwback to the days
when the Internet had recently hatched from its origins in ARPANet and
was mostly inhabited by government employees and people at colleges
and universities (i.e. .gov and .edu users).

Does anybody screen the hundreds of OT posts about
politics and hucksters trying to sell their junk?


No. It is possible for users to do this themselves using a proper news
reader application and filtering. As far as I know, it is not possible
for WebTV users to accomplish this.

Where are all the

Yes, well, this is what happens when the intelligent people get tired
of the morons. The intelligent people find somewhere else to go,
leaving the morons behind to continue their fine traditions.

It's also what happens when outfits like AOL and, later, Google decide
to create proprietary implementations of Usenet, ignoring conventions
such as NNTP in favor of their own concoctions, and then throw access
open to the masses without implementing any means of controlling the
drivel they post - thereby making it possible for morons to pollute
the newsgroups with impunity.

And now we have WebTV, the new AOL. Nothing personal, and no offense
meant - for all I know you may be as dedicated to the radio arts as I
am, and perhaps even moreso. If that's the case - the problem is that
for every person like you, there's fifty who wouldn't know Universal
Serial Bus from Upper Sideband and spend their time mostly forwarding
junk mail to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have their e-mail
address fall into the hands of one of these cretins.

If you've ever received an e-mail that begins with several screenfuls
of e-mail addresses belonging to people you've never heard of, you
know exactly what I'm referring to; If you have ever actually
forwarded one to someone else, may the fleas of a thousand camels
infest your genitalia.

And now if you'll excuse me, I need to go dig out my list of
frequencies for NTSB. Somebody crash-landed an airplane into
somebody's living room here last night, well within scanner range.

No, this is what happens when THIN SKINNED so called intelligent people
give up the fight and allow the trolls to win.

People like me, Blinky the Shark, John Weeks, and many others have been
trying to tell these so called intelligent users how to beat the trolls for
many years. They always ignore us, then go off to some Yahoo Group crying
their eyes out. They then run into some kind of Hitler styled moderator
there, and soon are simply gone.

You can't be thin skinned and survive on Usenet. They ignore advice on how
to killfile the trolls, how to ignore them so they will go away. They
insist on getting into flame wars with them, and then you see another one
of these weak ass pathetic posts... "I'm leaving...."

I read several groups where the trolls do not win, and that is because
there is a dedicated core group that refuses to lose, takes the advice on
how to deal with trolls, and has a thick enough skin to survive.

As far as "all the intelligent posters went running off to somewhere
else..." well, they were not intelligent enough to listen to some simple
advice. I know it's been posted here for years, because I myself posted it
here years ago. They allowed the trolls to win.

- It is possible to set up moderated Usenet groups.
- Unfortunately, this one wasn't...
- so we're stuck with the detritus.

Nobody. This is not a forum on AOL, a chat room on MSN, or some other
such thing. This is a newsgroup on Usenet, a throwback to the days
when the Internet had recently hatched from its origins in ARPANet and
was mostly inhabited by government employees and people at colleges
and universities (i.e. .gov and .edu users).

Does anybody screen the hundreds of OT posts about
politics and hucksters trying to sell their junk?


No. It is possible for users to do this themselves using a proper news
reader application and filtering. As far as I know, it is not possible
for WebTV users to accomplish this.

Where are all the
ecellent technical posts about radio repair, QSL's, program highlights,
reciever discussions and opnions and reminiscing? Antenna for SWL, Ham

Yes, well, this is what happens when the intelligent people get tired
of the morons. The intelligent people find somewhere else to go,
leaving the morons behind to continue their fine traditions.

It's also what happens when outfits like AOL and, later, Google decide
to create proprietary implementations of Usenet, ignoring conventions
such as NNTP in favor of their own concoctions, and then throw access
open to the masses without implementing any means of controlling the
drivel they post - thereby making it possible for morons to pollute
the newsgroups with impunity.

And now we have WebTV, the new AOL. Nothing personal, and no offense
meant - for all I know you may be as dedicated to the radio arts as I
am, and perhaps even moreso. If that's the case - the problem is that
for every person like you, there's fifty who wouldn't know Universal
Serial Bus from Upper Sideband and spend their time mostly forwarding
junk mail to anyone who is unfortunate enough to have their e-mail
address fall into the hands of one of these cretins.

If you've ever received an e-mail that begins with several screenfuls
of e-mail addresses belonging to people you've never heard of, you
know exactly what I'm referring to; If you have ever actually
forwarded one to someone else, may the fleas of a thousand camels
