Moderated List

We need to find or create a moderated list for the pilots who follow
this group...
I'm willing to even kick in a few bucks to make it happen...

You know -- I was just thinking a rec.aviation.piloting.moderated would
be a darn good idea. Doesn't need a few bucks as much as it needs a few
volunteers to moderate, and one of the downsides is some degree of
latency when posting articles (i.e. they need to be approved by the
moderator).

Has this topic come up in the past? Lot of good content on this NG.
Also a lot of bottom-posted, cross-posted fckwt sht too, and that is
getting to be a bit of noise.

The problem is not bottom posting. The problem is a total and utter lack of
trimming.

Yes, thanks, that's what i meant. Didn't use the right word.
No trimming in this post for ironic effect, but thats kinda muted cause
of the brevity of what's above.

That is my personal bugaboo. I learned long ago that quotations weren't
supposed to be an archive of the conversation but merely a reference point for
your answer. How many layers of crap do there have to be before I give up? My
screen resolution is 1280X 1024. If I don't start to see some new material on
the page, I won't scroll down to try to find it. I just move on to the next
message.

It seems to me if an author wants somebody to read his words of wisdom, he'll
make it easy to find them. Otherwise he's done nothing more than fart in a
gale.

We don't need moderation. We just need folks to pay attention to what they're
doing.

As much as I do not like the idea of moderation, it would cure a problem beyond
people not paying attention. It could get rid of several fujwits that have done
nothing but pollute the place, and run off many people who finally felt the
effort to stay was not worth it.

It has merit, IMHO.

someones ego.

10 years as a moderator for one.

... they usually die out at some point and it usually because of

They get built, too, because of determined characters.

They don't come into being by accident.

They can't stay around by accident.

They can die by accident.
