There is no moderator. What we're experiencing is the blessing and the curse of Usenet: anyone can say anything without much fear of reprisal by anyone other than being killfiled by the offended. The shame of that is that it should be necessary to do that in order to cull the crap. Ted, there's a moderated group for recipes only (no conversation), rec.food.recipes. Lots of people find fault with it, but the very first recipe I ever "got off the internet" came from r.f.r. Maybe rec.food.recipes would be more satisfying to you. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Notes about our meals in Tuscany have been posted to http://www.jamlady.eboard.com; 10-16-2007 |

Your only "error" was in not knowing that THIS group is not moderated -- some are, most are not. Some (the computer groups I read) are not moderated and stay on topic -- the idiots and assholes are pretty much ignored and there's not much spam on them. They just take care of the topical questions that come their way. I've found them to be *very* helpful and cannot for the life of me understand why some of the folks who regularly post here don't ask their computer questions at the appropriate place. If what you're using to read news has killfile capability, it's probably worth your time to learn how to use it effectively - it will help cut down on the crap a little bit. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ Notes about our meals in Tuscany have been posted to http://www.jamlady.eboard.com; 10-16-2007 |
