i mostly agree with you and offer things when i can, but i so lack in
experience that is pertinent to the topic i have very little to contribute,
but i do enjoy reading here, when someone's noise level gets to high i just
quietly kf them and go on, so i can keep reading people who will educate me,

There's just not enough traffic on usenet anymore to support this as
well as it used to be. So people make entertainment where they find
it, with the bullshit you dislike.

Now, if all the complaining lurkers actually participated the signal
to noise ratio would automatically go down and maybe even attract some
new good blood.

I suppose I must have a high bullshit tolerance, because you are not
alone complaining that something drives you away that I see as simple
noise. Sometimes even entertaining noise.
I don't think your, and others, complaints are really on target. Do
you seriously think a moderated group would attract more traffic? If
you believe that, and that the real problem is in-fighting. Well, I
have a bridge to sell you.

One very good thing that would improve the signal to noise ratio?
Lurkers participating.

People such as yourself instead of trying to reinvent something,
simply refresh it with renewed participation.

Duh.
