Is it possible for this group to be moderated to eliminate the posts from
the trolls and loons? Is it asking too much to keep this group on the topic
of amateur astronomy? I am tired to thousands of posts from trolls and even
more inexcusable are the rants and foul language from participants that
sometimes provide helpful on-topic information. A recent example is the
thread regarding the Boy Scouts of America. I, like everyone else have an
opinion regarding this organization, but this opinion whether positive or
negative, should not be expressed in this newsgroup!!! If the topic is not
related to astronomy, equipment, observing, imaging, etc, it does not belong
here. It is that simple. What is so difficult about that concept?
