No Group Moderator?

[Bassetdad]

Hi Everybody,

I thought this newsgroup was people who enjoyed recumbents. Does the group
have a moderator to filter the childish postings from the people who enjoy
discussing the topic of this newsgroup.

Seems like this group has alot of trash talkers....

No this is not a moderated group. Try brol. They do a pretty good job of
keeping the garbage down to a minimum.

Ken

Or just use filters here. I do.

Moderated forums are good homes for the too easily offended and those
who can not stand up for themselves when the discussion gets heated.

There is some good info here from time to time, but have had to use
kill filters a bit.

There used to be a 'Group Moderator" [1], but he was only here on
alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent for "Bass fishing".

Then why the hell aren't you out on your Catrike instead of wasting time
reading a.r.b.r. Quit carping, turn the computer off, go ride the damn
thing, and be happy for God's sake.

Yo Johnny Sunset / Tom Sherman,

"Thank You" for pointing out the difference between the members who
participate in moderated and non moderated groups. Why would one get
offended if the poster was mature enough to stay focused on the topic of
that newsgroup such as bicycles recumbent instead of the poster displaying
his lack of intelligence by continually repeating himself ten times in a
recent posting that has nothing to do with recumbent bikes.

Bottom post please, it's easier to follow.

Well there is a difference between the posts made by E.D. and the troll
that posts the same message 25 times a day. The troll is most annoying,
but both have earned a spot in my bozo filter.
