"associated with"? Oh yes, I forgot. When I think of this NG I
immediately think of "politics, filth, and drivel". It's like a NG
Rorschach Test. Why else am I here?

The NAN moderation team will create...

"moderation team"? Sounds like Orwell at the Pentagon. I think the "team"
needs some grammar calibration.

apologies to most ESL matriculators, post, present, and future.) And that
question is merely rhetorical. -- Igor

If you are so offended by politics, filth and drivel, you obviously don't
watch the news, read newpapers or live in the real world.

And rec.woodworking is one of the MELLOWIST newsgroups I have seen on
usenet.

And if you think that people are here for "politics, filth and drivel", you
are mentally retarded.

I wonder how much real talent is going over to the censored site. We have
freedom of speech in this country and your new ng is apparently designed to
take that away in terms of woodworking discussions.

The NAN moderation team is Russ Allbery (big boss) and Todd McComb (first
mate). They create all new newsgroups for the Big-8 hierarchy, for both
moderated and unmoderated groups. The "soft wreck" was original proposed as
a moderated group, but Vito couldn't handle the flamage and he changed the
status to unmoderated.

I don't think so. They probably want to ban ads in the wreck and isolate
those posts in a marketplace group, which is pretty common in
reorganizations. If they aren't just blowing smoke, we shall soon find out.
I'm curious what other woodworking groups they plan to propose.

The only person with the power to veto a result and change the outcome is
Russ Allbery. He is away on vacation for some weeks, and he expressed that
he wants nothing to do with Usenet during that time. Chances are that the
result will stand and the control message for the new group will be issued
by Todd in about four days. Timing is on Vito's side here.

woodworking, or decent as morals? By your definition of decent I

Spoken like a true politician.

Improving "what" woodworking community? And just how exactly?
Woodworking skills? Or, "improving" the people doing the woodworking?
You aren't any sort of relaiton to Hitler, are you?

This will be a multi-group reorganization proposal, which will include a

I can but hope you aren't including rec.woodworking, in your plans

Well, if she was just a nuisance with no effect, yes. But if she's gonna

"I always wanted to be somebody...I should have been more specific..." - Lily Tomlin

Puff,
I 'tuned in' late on this thread, so bear with me.

Maybe it's already been mentioned or questioned . . . is this the same Susan
Welchel who played a snooty, teen-aged, privet school, girl on a long ago
sitcom? After that '15 minutes of fame' never heard of her again {although
her co-stars have all been working}until a 2-minute spot on 'Good Morning
America', several weeks ago. She was expounding upon her 'technique' of
disciplining children by putting HOT SAUCE {straight Tabasco, etc}directly
on their tongues. There was no mention of her woodworking or mechanical
abilities.

The bottom line . . . if she doesn't like it 'here', and has no interest in
the purpose of the 'Group' or it's subject matter . . . WHAT is she DOING
here ??

Regards,
Ron Magen

We would like to thank everyone for making this happen. Now,
woodworkers with respectable values will have an on-topic forum, and
they will not be stuck with the politics, filth, and drivel that are
associated with rec.woodworking. The NAN moderation team will create
the new group, rec.woodworking.all-ages, in about one week. All decent
woodworking folk should request the new group from the administrator
of their NSP.

Given the overwhelming success of the proposal, we have decided that
we will be submitting another proposal aimed at improving the
woodworking community in the near future. This will be a multi-group
reorganization proposal, which will include a separate marketplace
group for selling, auctioning, and announcing personal or commercial
goods and services related to woodworking. If anyone is interested in
joining the proponent team for the new proposal, please e-mail Vito
Kuhn or Susan Welchel for consideration.

Thank you for your support.

Vito Kuhn and Susan Welchel

The group wil not be moderated. Did you read the proposal?

Admittedly no - she irked me so with her insults that I chose to spit
venom rather than continue.

Up until that post, I think I posted my half-hearted support, or at
worst, indifference to her newsgroup.

I'll retract my "cram it" and instead (a) offer her my pity and (b)
say a prayer for her that she gets the help she needs.

Well, my point is, she should have the balls (wups, I mean "nerve" I
guess) to talk _with_ us about what our alleged problems are, instead of
sending a pronouncement from on high as to how she is going to save us
from ourselves or whatever.

Ah. OK, I can go along with that reasoning. I was thinking
"nothing" more from her here. Way I see it, our alleged "problems" are
that we aren't doing things her way, and I don't see anything from her
is gonna change that.
