Ralph. If we as a group of enthusiasts are not able to manage keeping a focused discussion, we failed as a group. If we need some higher authority to decide what can be published and what not, we will essentially kill the free speech in this group. If I know that my messages will be filtered and delayed, I might not even bother writing. These e-mail groups are true free and democratic groups. For it to be democratic, everyone needs to have the decision power to decide what is appropriate and what not. You can do that by deleting messages you don't care for and more importantly by not answering anyone that is writing about non-technical stuff, or doing propaganda for any of his non-Ercoupe believes. I do not see a need to have someone read 20 -50 messages a day and to decide what is apropriate or not. A mannered group can handle that more efficiently, I believe. Hartmut

If there is to be hands-on moderation of the groups--something I think is a good idea--I'd like to see it begin with censoring non-tech posts to the tech group. Like this post. Ed, can't you start tightening the tech group? You could begin by simply deleting non-tech posts on the tech group and sending them over to the flying group. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail and Microsoft Office Outlook – together at last.
