 K(K> **** PLAIN AND SIMPLE:

Really?  I see we need a moderator.  Because some poeple just
can't control themselves from being dictators of what other
poeple should do.

The real issue here is not "appropriate postings" it is one of
dogmatic elimination and bigotry.  All I have seen is posturing
and name calling.  Look let's all think for a change.  BOTH
groups [factions] have valid arguements.

Now THINKING what should be in this group?  Pure game thinking?
I tried that once and got flamed by the same poeple who are
flaming poeple posting PC specifc stuff.  I think you need to
stop thinking of this group as your PERSONAL ELITE group.  It's
not, it's for EVERYONE.  I for one would like to see less
complaining and more PREVALENT posting.  If your complaining
about the number of posts try looking at Comp.programing.C++!  OR
SCI.electronics!  These are crowded yet I read them everyday. and
sometimes every other day.

Moderating a news group as someone stated earlier is VERY
difficult.  Now a specific group of poeple want to split others
don't.  Why shouldn't the group split?  When I originally was on
this news group 12 months ago thier was 1 - 2 posts a day.
Sometimes not for DAYS.

Perhaps a "set of rules" should be posted?

When asking platform specific questions ...

Simple self control is very important.
I do think many of the posts are not 100% apropriate.
However posting to your suggested news groups is just as bad.

This is why a FAQ needs to be put in.  So any questions instead
of being FLAMED or having a LONG discussion on it should can be
FAQed and moved to Email.
