You know, it's funny that it was that very moderation that people like
Arnold and Howard use to praise, and they would claim that anyone not
willing to submit to such moderation was somehow suspect, or a coward.

First off, let's point out that Weil has zero personal experience with
posting on RAHE. Search google by group name and poster name and reach your
own conclusions.

I chose not to post there *precidsely* because of the moderation.
Turns out that I made the right choice.

In contrast, Le Gal has posted there something like 1,060 times, and
Krueger has posted there 1,860 times as "Krueger" and 509 additional times
as "Kr|ger" which was something that RAHE's moderation engine fabricated
from the proper German spelling of my last name.

So, we've got yet another case of Weil talking about something that he has
no personal experience, with despite the fact that obtaining personal
experience with RAHE can be easy and free.

But not free of "moderation". As you found out, to your dismay.

You used to boast that it was this moderation that set it apart from
RAO. Turns out that it ended up biting you in the ass.

Of course, there's the fear that if one expresses his subjective
opinion about music, someone like Arnold will soil the thread at the
first opportunity. But that's been going on for years...

Check the Usenet archives folks. Weil generally posts personal attacks or
off-the-topic of audio. I generally make technical posts on the topic of
audio.

Thisof course, especially the last part, is a lie. The archives proves
this.

I guess that means that in Weil's book, on-topic, audio-related posts
are "soil".

Your abuse of the English language is a constant source of amusement.

His behavior corresponds to the idea that on-topic,
audio-related posts are soil, so at least he's consistent. That would be
consistently making personal attacks and/or posting off the topic of audio.
