I just looked at the rec.scouting.usa group on Google and saw one,
maybe two, of the most recent 50 threads related to issues of sexual
orientation. The rest, to my inexperienced eye, seemed related to
other topics relevant to scouting. The group doesn't appear useless,
for discussing scouting, to me.

We should be cautious about posting anything on these news groups. There is
no way of convincing the mentally ill that airplanes are not a threat to
them, so arguing with them is futile. At worst, somebody in these groups
could find out about the rec.aviation news groups. This is a serious matter.
rec.scouting.usa, for example, has been completely hijacked by heterophobes
and is virtually useless for discussing Scouting. We would not want that to
happen here.
