Our group is setup to be not moderated. Many strong positions were
voiced for and against being moderated. End result is we chose to be
unmoderated and the format has served up well for nearly a decade.

Take a look again at our charter. We spun off of rec.aviation.military
to concentrate the discussions to naval aviation. Like you we read the
other groups as well finding interesting topics in each of them. We
simply request everyone to try to stay on topic, as defined in the
charter, when posting here. Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Jim, thanks for the reminder, and might I suggest that a monthly posting
of the charter would be a good thing.

If he were a moderator, he'd be plinking your post in the file. Frankly,
his re-posting of the charter (something he's done many times before), is a
good reminder to those who might be new to the group or who might be short
term memory challenged.

Might be a good idea, volunteering? Actually over the years several
group readers have assisted doing so when they noticed messages arriving
that weren't naval aviation related.

Fortunately the vast majority of our readers are well educated and
aren't offended when we bring these details to their attention. Good
example are our AF brethren who seldom crosspost from RAM.

Happy to. I'll make one the first of June, and monthly thereafter,
unless someone waves me off.

You do realize that the charter is off topic?

Having been a Usenet news admin since 1987, no, I don't realize that
periodic posting of a charter is off-topic (except from a narrow,
blackshoe TLB point of view) but I'm pretty sure that *discussion* of
posting the charter is off-topic. :)

Oooh, I'm not sure discussing blackshoes is on topic. OTOH bashing
them certainly should be :)
