Hi Everybody,
I thought this newsgroup was people who enjoyed recumbents. Does the group have a moderator to filter the childish postings from the people who enjoy discussing the topic of this newsgroup. Seems like this group has alot of trash talkers.... |

No this is not a moderated group. Try brol. They do a pretty good job of keeping the garbage down to a minimum. Ken Or just use filters here.

Unfortunately this group was single handedly hijacked by one known as Ed Dolan some years ago, since then it has been trash. -- Buck I would rather be out on my Catrike http://www.catrike.co.uk |

Yo Johnny Sunset / Tom Sherman,
"Thank You" for pointing out the difference between the members who participate in moderated and non moderated groups. Why would one get offended if the poster was mature enough to stay focused on the topic of that newsgroup such as bicycles recumbent instead of the poster displaying his lack of intelligence by continually repeating himself ten times in a recent posting that has nothing to do with recumbent bikes.

Bottom post please, it's easier to follow. Well there is a difference between the posts made by E.D. and the troll that posts the same message 25 times a day. The troll is most annoying, but both have earned a spot in my bozo filter.

Moderated forums are good homes for the too easily offended and those who can not stand up for themselves when the discussion gets heated. I used to agree with the above sentiment expressed by Mr. Sherman, but I do not anymore. Why? Newsgroups that are unmoderated are strictly for idiots, scoundrels and jerks. I have had to learn this the hard way. Apparently, Mr. Sherman is incapable of learning this very elementary thing about unmoderated forums. The most interesting thing about Mr. Sherman to me is how a full time employee, a civil engineer no less, can find the time to engage in this foolishness known as Usenet since it is a total waste of time and energy. It is impossible for me to believe that he does not have better things to do than to be posting to ARBR. Moderated forums are also just chock full of wasted messages which go nowhere, but at least they keep spamming trolls at bay. If I were a moderator of a forum I can honestly say I would eliminate 90% of all messages due to their stupidity and irrelevance. I am the expert on these subjects as any number of ARBR'ers can attest. I am only going to look in on this group in the future on a very selective basis when I feel the need to administer some good ass kicking. In the meantime, you can all go **** yourselves!
