A real D.I.Y group again?

Out of all the postings I have just downloaded, only around 100 of
545 posts are about real DIY subjects. The rest of the shi***** is
about mail order brides, buying fake watches and political garbage
about the Big Nutjobs Party.
IMO the whole thing would be much better as a Yahoo Group. I run
several, no spam, moderation, no flame wars, no missing posts to
speak of, much better all round.

This one does the rounds every year or so...

As a general rule I personally don't like web based fora. Slow,
inflexible etc.


And, lets face it, this sort of discussion surfaces from time to time -
nothing ever happens. Everyone knows it would lose it's unique character
and become another boring, dry forum (in the general sense of the word)
