What flotsam SHORTWAVE-GOOGLE NEWS is
I am spending less and less time looking at this newsgroup because of the
so-called "shortwave radio - Google News" postings. Most of this stuff has nothing to do with shortwave and it is just keyword-driven nonsense from their propaganda news coverage. Too bad. If its not the Chinese selling their online crappy products here it's Google's brainwashing excrement. This once was an interesting place to stop. |

Have you bought a shortwave radio lately? Have you resurrected one? Are there any programs on HFBC you regularly monitor? I like the airplanes over the Pacific. |

Blame it on the rec.radio.info moderators who think the whole hierarchy is under their command. rec.radio.info is a good idea, bulletins and recurring postings like faqs. But when rec.radio.amateur.moderated came into being, as near as I can tell the same bunch doing rec.radio.info, they decided they were the bosses of the hierarchy. Which is why we get regular postings in the other newsgroups (and here) where they are looking for FAQ keepers, rather than just coming in here and trying to talk to us (actually they did once, tried to crown someone who had little to say but posted way too often). It's the same group that posts in some of the other newsgroups telling us we can cross-post to the rec.radio.amateur.moderated newsgroup, without asking if we wanted cross-posting. It's the same group that isn't content with rec.radio.info, so they post the same bulletins and repeated messages to rec.radio.amateur.misc and I think maybe .policy and rec.radio.amateur.moderated. The last is an interesting case because they so badly wanted a moderated newsgroup, yet nobody is really posting there. It's filled with broadcast messages that are going into rec.radio.info. Once in a while someone stumbles in there and posts, and sometimes they get a reply, a handful of the same people answering. And sometimes someone posts a reply to one of the bulletins, which sometimes inturn gets a reply. The google messages come from those same moderators. They think they can improve things by posting news from elsewhere, yet they never came here to ask us if we wanted those messages. Anyone can see that shortwave news by setting up the same search at google. And probably see a better selection by picking less broad search terms. Michael |
