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.

"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.

Who are these ESL bozos? (Apologies to Bozo, may he RIP. For that matter,

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 ??

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

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.

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

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.

That's actually not such a bad idea. It's been done in the

If you're looking to buy or sell something, there's plenty of ads
there.

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.

Ummm...right. Where were you when serious questions were posed in
news.groups? You simply blew them off. You never did answer the really
key question: "What makes rec.woodworking.bowdlerized distinct from
rec.woodworking?" You drew no functional line, nor did you infer one
from the types of posts that appear in rec.woodworking.

You grossly overstate the "problem" in the wreck.

You give the appearance of not acting in good faith. You dismiss your
critics with an airy wave of the hands.

No. This was a travesty.

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.

Pardon me, but I think you waste your breath and stress adrenaline
here.

These yahoos will form their own little clique which will almost
certainly die a whimpering death within a few months, or else it will
thrive and become a wonderful forum full of sweetness and light under
the iron thumb of El Capitan.

Either way, I'm hanging out here, where there is a multitude of
clueful adults who know more about woodworking than I ever will, even
if they do say naughty words once in a while. :-)

Don't drool on yourself, sweetie. The group is unmoderated according to its
charter, so once it's created, your 'team' is out of work. Considering the
number of nasty trolls who voted for the group, I don't envy the people who
have to set up filters.

I, for one, enjoy a little tenon in mortise action;
as do I enjoy:
screwing my wood;
nailing various and sundry items;
doning a Blue Velvet like gas mask when fuming;
plunging my bit;
musing at the antics of shop pussies;
and generally just getting some good old testosterone flowing.

Guess I'm just one of the indecent folks. Here's to us!
