Getting tired of The DigiWX posts
Is it time to move RAS to a more solid footing?
Could there be a small "elected" group that acts as moderators essentially tossing anything that is not soaring related of which there are more and more posts appearing as the nuts and spammers get more active in these un-moderated newsgroups. Is it time for the RAS management group?

Is it time for the RAS management group? I would be happy to see a move to a Google/Yahoo group and forget about this newsgroups format which is being ruined with spam and the insane.

As ugly as the spam is, I'd much rather deal with it than be forced to deal with a browser-based newsreader. (Never mind that this is posted via google groups.) -js
