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. -- ACC USN ret NKX BIKF NAB CV-63 NIR 67-69 69-71 71-74 77-80 80-85 & 74-77 founder of newsgroup - RAMN |

RAMN turned 11 years old on June 13th. 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.

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. -- ACC USN ret NKX BIKF NAB CV-63 NIR 67-69 69-71 71-74 77-80 80-85 & 74-77 founder of newsgroup - RAMN |

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. -- Mike Kanze "It's easy to delegate once you've learned to let a toddler spend 23 minutes buttering toast without an overwhelming urge to intervene." - Jared Sandberg, Wall Street Journal, 5/29/2007 "Jim" wrote in message ...
