Well, I have been busy and in my absence the usual thread drift has
happened on schedule as expected...

Anyway, I was not thinking of the moderator doing anything special but
blocking the spammers - the porn ads, the fake rolex's, etc...
As far as the 3 year olds on here throwing spit balls at each other, I
ignore that...


Just as well. You're very wise. I have little time for that nonsense.

well, you ONLY use a web based usenet gateway (googlegroups), which is
bad (and the quote of censored using it is rising and makes it a more
and more viable solution to just filter any and all postings coming from
googlegroups).

here[tm] I don't see what you mentioned above.

Actually, it is law...in the Ninth Circuit. It is binding in the
federal courts in that Circuit, just the same as a statute. It is
called "common law."

I agree, Jay. BTB is the best argument for a moderated group. MX may
not be a pilot, but his queries are often good topic starters until
the usual flame throwers show up. Watch and see.

Certainly not.


Small "t" in BtB BTW.

And, BTW moderation does little to slow me down. I managed to bring an
issue before a national parliament about a year ago via a moderated
forum and some even more reprehensible techniques than I'd ever use
here.

But he ALWAYS ends up making it a flame fest, of meaningless dribble.

Disagree. Sadly, this group has sunk to the point where MX is now the
primary source of on-topic piloting topics.

chased away a long list of truly outstanding regular posters. MX may

There is just no way that I am going to actually conduct a rigorous
statistical analysis, but casual observation strongly suggests that MX also
remains the primary source and catalist for off-topic posts. There are
others, from time to time; but they lack his long term tenacity.

As mentioned earlier, I am not an advocate of moderated groups and just two
of my reasons are that I would not want the job and also that I am convinced
that a tired moderator could quickly become worse than non at all. But I
must admit that the much could be gained.

As always, YMMV
