is this a travel forum??
Hi guys,
I'm a traveller (a serious one: www.albytravel.com) and I'm amazed by how badly managed is this forum. Sorry but who is the moderator?? It's a pity to see how such potential is unused. I used rec.travel... 7 years ago and it was quite ok (it helped me to get the visa for Iran), but now it's just rubbish. Do something!! alby |

Do something!! alby Yes, it is a shame what the Usenet rec. groups have turned into. Not just this one, but All of the ones I am subscribed to. The posts, for the most part, are a sea of Off Topic cryptic spam. I also used this group in the past and received help and advice on travels to SE Asia. It seems the serious On Topic posters and moderators have gone elsewhere. I have seen many of the former Usenet people on my Yahoo Groups. The groups that I belong to are moderated and the posts are filtered before going to the group. I haven't done a search yet for a backpacking travel group, but I'm thinking there is certainly something out there that is moderated. If someone knows of one, please post the link . Maybe a few of you (like me) are still lurking here. BTW, I enjoyed your website about your travels, so this group is not yet a total waste ! Myself, I am off to the Philippines next month for some birding, sound recording, and backpacking on Palawan. bill |
