I seldom post or visit this group any more. The group used to be
relevant and helpful to the aviation home builder with professional,
skilled advice and suggestions. But it seems to be degenerating into
spam posts and personal verbal contests, often with show-off,
insulting and foul language.

This unfortunately happens in news groups with no moderators. Freedom
to anarchy.

A simple set of filters will remove most of the spam and it doesn't take
long to recognise the sh!t fights and just ignore them.
As to Moderation, I see it as freedom to express an opinion without having
worry about upsetting a moderator, moderated groups tend to descend into
censorship and appeasement just as fast as unmoderated groups descend into
anarchy IMHO and in my years on Usenet Moderated groups seem to die a much
faster death on average.
