Default silver state helicopters

I have yet to set a filter and still haven't seen anything from him in a
month or so. But I just delete them anyway, not a problem.

I don't know what happened to this group. I was posting here a few years
ago, but had to stop for a while due to time constraints. When I came back a
year or so ago, it was like this and has been since. I know in the old days
the experimental enthusiast often clashed with the professional pilots. But
I not sure how much that had to do with the groups demise. I hoped it would
one day split into .rotorcraft and .experimental rotorcraft, but I guess
there is little need now. Did something else besides the usual trolls
happen?

Sometimes I wonder if the days of unmoderated groups aren't seriously
numbered. Seems far too many people find it easier to be difficult than
cordial, and attack anyone that disagrees with them. Others just wait for an
opportunity to criticize or belittle someone. It only takes one bad apple,
with too much free time on their hands, to cripple any group.

Maxwell: I agree. I've used a "Block Sender" and haven't seen any of the
blathering about Belford in some time. I am curious just why there is no
helicopter action on this NG. I've tried numerous times to get things
goind and have failed. It is now just about a waste of time to look in
here as I seem to be the only one putting stuff on here and I'm bored
listening to just my ideas and stuff.

This news group is dead because it is used for other than to discuss
helicopters! That nut who has an axe to grind with Belford. Back in
1999-2002 there were very knowledgeable posters, now some as****le has
just ruined the site.

What news reader are you using? Many like MS Outlook allow you to simply
delete that nonsense, or set filters to avoid it completely.

I don't think the Belford loon really has that much effect on the group,
or at least he shouldn't.
