Exactly... There are way too many off topic postings cluttering up
this group with pure garbage not related to short wave radio. One
reason why they're not channeling their efforts towards the spammers
is that they're part of the group of spammers with all their Identity
shifting.

The contetnt is sometimes useful for IDing a station for some reason.
But _discussing_ on the content is clearly offtopic here. Thanks.

| Here's a snip from a 1996 post pointing to the charter & faq:
| http://www.faqs.org/faqs/radio/monitoring/introduction/
| (my emphasis added in all-caps)
| ###################
| What is rec.radio.shortwave for?
|
| ...This group is intended to be a place where ANY radio
| monitoring topic can and should be discussed. We are happy to
| hear from posters who listen to any part of the radio or
| microwave spectrum, from DC to daylight. We discuss topics of
| ALMOST ANY KIND, ranging from (but not limited to) SHORTWAVE
| BROADCASTING, DXing small or distant shortwave stations,
| utility and teletype monitoring, military eavesdropping,
| station schedules, QSLing sw broadcasters, spectrum
| usage, equipment design and modifications, antennas, receiver
| reviews and recommendations, AND MANY MORE...
| ###################
|
| So, when it gets to the part about topics, what is the *very*
| first item in the example list?:
|
| "...We discuss topics of almost any kind, ranging from (but
| not limited to) shortwave broadcasting..."
|
| And there you have it.
|
| Julie (if that's your *real* name), Mike Terry, Volker Tonn -
| You are all hereby relieved of your net-kopping duties. You
| may lay down your arms & return peacfully to your farms and
| fields; You fought bravely and honorably, but now the war has
| ended.

Honorably? By making reference to where I live and the names
of members of my family? By posting one of my email addresses
multiple times to encourage spam? She doesn't understand honor,
and for that reason, I think it's time to encourage Verizon to take
away her posting privileges. "She" is a control freak, and will stop
at nothing to shut people up.

It's time to fight fire with fire. "She" is in way over her head.

There are are plenty of groups specialized to talk on political and

the related group(s)!
Newsgroups are related on themes. And rrs is related on _receiving_ not
on _contetnt_ of transmissions. Period.
It's fine to point out what you're actually hearing on shortwave or
other freqs. But if you want to discuss on non receiving related content
make a follow-up to the related group. Thanks.

Exactly. It's my pleasure to "cross the aisle" and to agree with an
excellent example of a thinking conservative on this issue of content.

Otherwise, this interesting and challenging list could devolve into a
bunch of ******s discussing their rigs.

The self-appointed Wouff-Hongs, like JuLiE-of-the-mystery-chromosome,
are free to ignore the posts that do not meet their needs.

My guess is that she is late 40's or early 50's, grossly overweight and
hasn't been in a relationship for 10 years. It certainly would explain a

That is not true. Read the charter and you will see that this is an open
group that is not strict about posting on topic.

Many true blue SWLers have long since left this NG and are now on other
groups, some moderated.
See URL:
http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=shortwave

Where you will find dozens of SWL groups

Example Yahoo shortwave-radio
Discussion group for people who like to listen to and log shortwave radio
stations from around the globe, here you can exchange frequencies and
discuss the radios and receivers available for this interesting hobby. Has
877 members !

Another SWL group is for SWL antennas -- has 1328 members !
Shortwave-SWL-Antenna
This focus of this Group on YAHOO! is the Shortwave (SW) Antenna; the Medium
Wave (MW) Antenna and the FM Radio Antenna: Theory, Design, Construction,
Use and Application for Shortwave (Radio) Listeners (SWL) and Medium (Radio)
Wave Listeners. Medium Wave is better know as the AM Radio Broadcast Band
(BCB). The FM Radio Band (87-108 MHz) because it is Very High Frequency
(VHF) has its own unique antenna considerations. In some parts of the world
all of these forms of radio listening are called

And there are hundreds (thousands ?) of Yahoo groups devoted to politics
where readers are really interested in politics.

Except for the dozen or so regular political types here, I doubt most
readers of rec.radio.shortwave care about the political rants or even read
them, but it is unmoderated -- so there you go, quit complaining about an
unmoderated NG and get on one that stays on topic.

Very true and especially when they are moderated. I block sender the off
topic posters here and get about 30-40 good postings a day, just about
worthwhile supporting this group I feel. I don't have a clue why these
political posters don't stick to rec.politics or whatever its called where

It is outrageous to say that you can discuss the frequency, location,
strength, and language, but it is off topic to discuss what they said on the
broadcast. If that were true, then this group should be called
rec.radio.shortwave.frequencyalerts

You almost had me confused for a moment. You're RoadRunner Steve, not

I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments. I came here to read up
on shortwave related topics and gain insightful knowledge on where to
listen to certain broadcast as well as what interesting, less known
broadcast were available to receive.

I have to weed through hundreds of posts of pure "OFF-TOPIC" nonsense
to find relevelant postings. One time, last month, when I pulled down
new headers I think it was 72 of 102 were political postings by one
specific individual up in Canada. The remaining 30 were mostly
political retorts to the sot in Canada. Maybe one or two shortwave
related postings existed. I should haven't to weed through 100+
postings to find one, maybe two shortwave radio postings. That's just
purely wrong.

It's too bad they're too stupid to see the errors of their ways, but I
imagine if I started posting scores of some other "OFF-TOPIC" genre
into the group they'd all be crying and whining about it! IMHO,
they're all hippocrits.

Don't worry Volker, you're correct on this issue.

Fifteen uneducated, mindless idiots on one side of an issue versus
four or five on the other side doesn't make the idiots correct.

You're absolutely right. But it's not going to stop.
The other day I got home from work, ran OE and clicked this group.
The status bar said 145 messages not downloaded. When my
killfile and ignored threads filter got done I had 33 mostly on topic
posts to look through. 77% cleanup rate.

It takes a little effort but it's worth it to me. In fact, if so many people
didn't bother to respond to the off topic posts... well, you get the picture.
Trolls might go away if no one replies to them, but that's not going to
happen either. I'll just keep filtering and clicking the posts that I'm interested
in.

You are just asking for people to behave reasonably. The normally
adjusted people will and the maladjusted will not. Use the kill file to
delete the latter and you will have close to what you want.

This morning 134 articles killed out of 200 articles. Only had to read a
few normal peoples responses to Trolling idiots and the rest were
relevant to short wave.

The computer is supposed to save you time and effort and by setting up
some rules blocking certain prolific off topic posters you can have it
do the work for you. Then you read what you want because you are in
control and not the mercy of the undesirables. This is not unlike the
tuning knob on the radio.

You don't have to read the Trolling idiots in any news group.

Thank you for your reply, Sanjaya..

That was my approach for the first month or two. I became very
irritated once I figured out that quite of few of these morons were
changing their Identities to get around kill filters. I manage to link
one sot to about 15 identities in one week or two. I've actively
emailed all their ISPs once I deemed their activity merited such
actions. I've had to resort to adding topic filtering too which will
undoubtedly filter out some good postings I'd rather not have
filtered.

It takes a little effort but it's worth it to me. In fact, if so many people
didn't bother to respond to the off topic posts... well, you get the picture.
Trolls might go away if no one replies to them, but that's not going to
happen either. I'll just keep filtering and clicking the posts that I'm interested
in.

away her posting privileges. "She" is a control freak, and will stop
at nothing to shut people up.

It's time to fight fire with fire. "She" is in way over her head.

Don't worry Volker, you're correct on this issue.

Fifteen uneducated, mindless idiots on one side of an issue versus
four or five on the other side doesn't make the idiots correct.

Please refer to the previous post of mine with reference to
the newsgroup charter for a clearer understanding that
broadcast content is on topic. Thanks much!

A newsgroup with a special topic is to prefer over any other usegroup it
may be a "special part" of.
With other words: Any topic a special newsgroup exists for, is offtopic
everywhere(!) else. This is how newsgroups _basically_ work. Take it.
