There is already a moderated group on yahoo. "Woodworking for everyone" I
think. If anyone needs to be moderated, they can just go there. I think Mr.
Newton just wants to be a "censor". He should stick to figs.

Sad but true.
It's true in most long standing usenet groups.
It's become one giant AOL chat room.
Very little real content anymore.

You have to love these idiots who, in response to an obvious troll,
scream about it across five newsgroups. I mean, Jesus, they're even

I agree. The best way to make it moderate is to start by throwing out
all the extremist fukkkheads like yourself.

But I'm not into netkkkopping or censoring people, so I guess that
won't work.

Let's see, you're up to three posts in this thread as of the date of

I still think frequently about that Floyd Davidson said I tell good

from then on, have received about a hundred a day emails in Korean. Is

All those "troll alert" posts have been pretty effective in preventing a
flame war/feeding frenzy, huh? Good job, guys. You might want to look
into a acquiring a respirator for the next time you do a lot of
finishing indoors, so the fumes won't disable the few remaining

Rather than moderate an already existing group, start a new one. If people
like it, they will stay. If they don't, you haven't sacrificed an entity to
test your theory.
