A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting?

(Not sure if you are a member of either group.)

I am an AOPA member, but not a member of any of their forums.

But also did
you use the same confidence check in determining whether you should use
AT&T as your Usenet provider (they must have some Terms of Service you
must abide by even on Usenet postings)?

Bad comparison. I am a customer of AT&T. They please me on a day-to-day
basis or I fire them and move on to the next ISP.

Consider this: anyone can create a group

Exactly, that is why there are way too many groups. The world does not need
any more Google groups.

Lastly, I would be very happy to see someone else deal with such
moderation. Got any names you'd suggest as possibilties that we could
draft?

I already have made a suggestion; God. Until then, we are better off without
a hall monitor. Learn to use filters. I use them all the time and they work
fine.

Nothing personal, but if you are posting through Google Groups I may not receive
your message. Google refuses to control the flood of spam messages originating
in their system, so on any given day I may or may not have Google blocked. Try
a real NNTP server & news reader program and you will never go back. All you
need is access to an NNTP server (AKA "news server") and a news reader program.
You probably already have a news reader program in your computer (Hint: Outlook
Express). Assuming that your Usenet needs are modest, use
http://news.aioe.org/ for free and/or http://www.teranews.com/ for a one-time
$3.95 setup fee.
