I left this newsgroup a little over a year ago because of all the juvenile
goings on.
So, I came back recently to see how things were going and because my SW
interest
was picking up again.
What do I see?

"So and so is an as*#ho#e"
"Check out nig**mania"
"Mentoring and s#x: Boys & ....."
"Stevie sh*t"
"Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a go**^^%%$#ed piece of paper"

I mean, come on people, what is this?
A newsgroup where like minded people can come to learn about and discuss
this wonderful hobby?
Or a 4th grade class of juvenille delinquents?

In fairness, 99.9% of you are great and make great posts.
But don't reply to the other .1% idiot's posts and fuel their fire.
They live for this and you all know it.
Isn't there some way to ban those morons?

I generally like this NG and learn an awful lot of great stuff that enhances
my
SW listening experience.
But it seems like nothing has changed in the last year.
Please help me understand?

I can understand your frustrating, but lately I've actually been seeing
a lot more _on topic_ posts than not. A few weeks ago it was pretty
bad...lots of Bush related topics and kooks posting. Seems like the
past week or so has been better...maybe the idiots took the holiday off.

Its usenet. Its open to the public. You take the good with the bad. I
*think* its always been this way.

Kinda fun if you ask me.

Unfortunately a few have decided to chase anyone out of this NG unless they
subscribe to their particlular brand of religion and politics.

Except this NG didn't used to be such a CB trash talk group. Notice how few
posters we get from other countries now?

I hate to break this to you, but no one can 'chase anyone' out of this NG.

Yeah, that does bother me if the idiots chased off folks from other
countries whose input into this group would make it a more worthwhile hub
for sharing info.

I guess I was just looking at usenet as a whole and not just RRS.

There are a few aceholes here. I think they feed on each other...

Sure they can. All you have to do is make someone feel unwelcome. This is
a great hobby especially if we can share it with people in other countries.
This has also been a terrific newsgroup for advice and experience (for me
anyway).
(just my humble opinion)

Your best bet is to simply ignore all of the useless political
threads....mostly just a bunch of simple-minded buffoons who seem to be
hell-bent on proving to one another just how moronic they are.
On the whole, though, this remains one of the better venues for
informed opinions on shortwave-related topics. Provided you avoid
becoming mired the off-putting rubbish, I'm sure you'll find
participation in this group to be worthwhile.

I personally would prefer that Ricketts continue to post here. So long
as he wastes his time on RRS, he won't be out in the world making a
difference somewhere.

How many times do people have to say this? This is a simple UNMODERATED
newsgroup. Nothing you do will change what's posted here and posting your
dissatisfaction is pointless. Only time affects who comes and goes. Might as
well join in with the rest of them and use killfiles if necessary... or
check back in another year to see if things have changed. There's always
great info available here if you don't mind weeding through a few off topic
posts, but for some reason many folks don't like moving their mouse around a
little to read them.

He never fudged the Truth or made up any Lies about why we went to
War.He never (not to my knowledge anyway) summoned any newspaper editors
to his office and asked them not to run such and such a story in their
newspapers.And he certainly did NOT go AWOL either.Yep,in my lifetime,we
had a President.

I believe lots of folks liked Ike.

If you dig though the old U-2 documents, Ike liked to spy on the
Soviets rather than Americans.
