You'd need someone as the moderator. I'm to busy to
do it; and I imagine that most others are too. Ace could,
but I doubt he'd want the job. Or the ng moderated, for
that matter.

Don't plan on rec.radio.shortwave.moderated ever happening. Moderate the
newsgroup yourself. I've expanded my killfile considerably over the last
few weeks.

You might want to do the same.

I often wish that someone would write a newsgroup reader that would let you
filter what you want to SEE, not what you DON'T.
It would take up MUCH less resources to specify what words in the title will
pass and who you want to see messages from...

We do have a 'troll' problem. There's no doubt about it. I don't
understand the whole process of creating and managing usenet newgroups
very well. However, there are things that can be done about this
problem, if people get sufficiently ticked off. It's sad to imagine
this group as 'moderated', but who knows....maybe that's what it will
take.

For a newsgroup to be moderated, it has to be done at the time the
newsgroup is created. After it is in wide use there is no way to
change it other than to create a new, moderated newsgroup. The other
approach is for a lot of the users to report, and keep reporting the
worst off topic users to their providers, till they lose their
accounts. That takes a lot of time and a lot of people, but it is the
way newsgroups are supposed to self police themselves. Of course, the
offenders start screaming "NetKop" when it happens, but they are the
ones creating the problem in the first place. I have written this group
off as mostly useless. I don't think there is enough left to save.

But, but... My computer only has a gig of memory and my kill-file takes up
most of it......

Why do so many more expensive Shortwave Radios nowdays have so many
digital led front panels (and some people want a blue led front panel
instead of the green front led panel (or vicer versa) the radios came
from the factory with) and those little bitty push buttons and
computerized interface chips and so much software that must be used with
or without computers.Why can't a company or companies design and
manufacture Shotwaves Radios similar to the Shortwave Radios of the
1940's and 1950's at least in style? Radios that are pure Shortwave and
no AM/FM/and that other stuff (bells and whistles) that most people
wouldn't hardly ever use or care about anyway.Why is it that nowdays,two
bits worth of plastic (plastic cases that will melt in a car in the hot
sun) radio cases for radios every year or so in a new style like womens
new dresses and shoes) has to be designed and put on the market when
actually it is the same o same o two bits worth of cheap plastic,do they
really think they are buying a better radio? Ooooo,, that new radio
looks soooo neat!,I must buy it because it looks different than my last
years radio even though it is the same o same o!

As far as I know, you can send the messages to any folder you want,
depending on the filters you specify. Nothing says everything you filter
HAS to go to the garbage can.


That's the way with most civilized newsreaders/email agents. I don't
know about Outlook or Outlook Express, as they are virus magnets.
Mozilla or Netscape are fine in this regard.

Go to Tools, Message filters to specify.
