There's a moderator? On Usenet? **** that!
Grin That would be rec.audio.pro.moderated. HTH.
I'll submit an RFC to the authorities when I get a round tuit to see whether
anyone wants it.
Or we could always set up a Facebook group called rec.audio.pro, and let
those who want to, fight over being administrators.
Good idea! Private Yahoo groups work well, especially for the owner. There's a
certain satisfaction
with permanently banning an asshole member. It's free, doesn't require a
Usenet server. It doesn't require any Usenet apps. You can sent photos and
such. There is free storage for the group for photos, FYIs, announcements &
etc. It can be spam free. I've been on quite a few for the past 23 years.
I have one .
Was prolific in its heyday, but has been pretty much dead for a few years now ;-(

Yes, they seem to go through a cycle. I was on a number of mail lists in the
beginning. Usenet was popular for a while then came the web forums. I guess
facebook is top dog now. I think only we hardened old-timers are still on Usenet
with the exception of a few idiots nowadays. It would be very entertaining the
to see the really bad-ass creative flamers in action again. Even the more
innocent wore asbestos underwear back then when newsgroups were the digital
wild-west. I think life was more fun back then.
