Wanda...

Moderating the wreck would be a full-time job because of the number of
posts and would lengthen response times for legitimate questions.

The trade-off, as you noted, is the number of off-topic, troll, and
occasional venemous posts. Moderating the wreck as been considered a
number of times; and each time the issue arose, most of the
subscribers elected to keep the newsgroup as is, warts and all.


I completely understand your position. Just an idea I had. There are real
cons to it, I suppose.

I'm glad you got the helpful information.


Thanks, Morris! I'll be watching the group for a while to see if I spot any
more ideas.

Wanda
