Pug Newsgroup - Should We Become Moderated?

Do what?! This is usenet, the great democrtatic institution where anybody can post and anybody can ignore at their will.

This is either a troll or you just need to learn how to drive your newsreader a little better. Or perhaps you need to get a newsreader rather than Outlook Express which is worth exactly what you paid for it - but even OE has filters. My normal practice on here is to just download the headers and select which bodies to get later but I have filters set to download bodies if the subject concerns my model, 306 and diesel being the operative words.

I paid nothing for XNews, but shows how a newsreader should be done!

OE is sort-of paid for through Windoze Tax.

Do you think it is worth upgrading fro Agent 1.9x to Agent 2.0? Have you seen any improvemnts?

I have been a member of various newsgroups for decades and all have been useful. None have been moderated.

All my groups have been successful in ignoring or dealing with irrelelevant or disruptive posts.

Your post suggests that you are a newby (a usenet term). Hang around and you will see how this group survives without a moderator.

The simple fact is that this group in the alt. hierarchy cannot become moderated. The charter is set in stone and cannot be altered.
