Hi

Has anyone though of starting a UK DIY moderated group?

I run several Yahoo Groups in my other 'life' as a magician and the
flame wars aren't anything like the Dr Drivel ones we get here.

Obviously the magicians groups are restricted membership for security
- we don't want people knowing how stuff is done, but its dead easy
for a moderator (or moderators) to stamp out silly flame wars that
just waste space and make threads unreadable. or to ban the members
that start them.

The only public domain magicians group 'alt.magic' has literally died
due to one troll who just snipes at everyone.

Any thoughts?

Dave

So you have failed as a magician to make these people disappear?
