Should we reclaim this newsgroup or go for a rec.travel.air.moderated?
All:
I have been a lurker and poster to this newsgroup for about 10 years. I post with the same Name (Dennis G. Rears) from my work address and my home address drears@runningpage.*. Specifics clouded to avoid spambots. This NG has degraded to political discussions that have had very little to do with r.t.a. They might be very important topics; but not about recreational air travel. There are in my opinion only two ways to stop this: (1) A Moderated group or (2) self-discipline. R.T.A is about recreational air traffic. Let's abort everything else. I want to see teh Bill Mattocks, etc post and read. Aside from responding to this message, I ask the posters to r.t.a to refrain from responding to mesages that are not r.t.a. related. Should we have a moderated newsgroup? dennis r.t.a. related I got a EWR-DEN--CLE-EWR over the Memorial Day weekend for only $222.00 on CO. |

Way to much money to see Cleveland But I know someone that got OAK-JFK-OAK for about that price for that weekend. |

This is a rec.* group and I suspect you have no idea how difficult that would be. Well how about an alt.@ group ?? Go for it if you like. alt.* groups are easy. What is needed is a few people to moderate. I personally couldn't commit myself to this as the very nature of my work means I may away from home a few weeks at a time. It may also be wise to post this discussion to alt.config to get some useful (if abusive) feedback. |

It seems like he has a special way of dealing with people he doesn't like |

I certainly am unlikely to do so. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
