Anniversary

RAMN turned 11 years old on June 13th.

Only regret is not to have made it moderated as the cross posted junk
has been a pain to deal with.

Wow Jim - time does fly when you are having fun! Sure does not seem
that long ago we set this thing up as an alternative to the old
Prodigy and NMN forums!

Occasionally throw an e-mail to Gray Fox (get a reply once in a while)
but have lost track of all the rest of the old gang.

Do agree with your desire to moderate but we did make a concious
decision not to as neither of us had the time (still don't) to put
into it every day. Though I have often wondered if there is a way to
change to a moderated group as the idiots have made it increasingly
difficult to find the good stuf.

I've been trying to establish an alternate method. My newsreader of
choice is Thunderbird. Wrote the Mozilla Foundation, authors of
Thunderbird, asking if they could develop a filtering system to watch
for cross posted messages. If we could control that, 90% of the problem
would disappear. So far not much progress. Hopefully they'll surprise
me someday.

Chief Jim,

Happy 11th, R.A.M.N.!

Personally, I have no problem with you changing this NG to a moderated one, or disestablishing it completely and reconstituting it as moderated. I realize that moderating a NG takes time and effort, though, so understand and sympathize with any reluctance to do so.
