Is it possible for this group to be moderated to eliminate the posts from
the trolls and loons?

I consider this newsgroup to be moderated. I moderate it for myself. Takes a
bit of restraint (which I don't always have) but it does not take too much
skill to recognize one of Min's posts, a thread that has lost its way or a
troll at work. Just avoid em.

The upsside of this newsgroup is that it has posters who really know what the
hell they are talking about, something lacking in other moderated forums.

Yeah sometimes things get a bit rough here, but S.A.A. is playing with the big
boys and and thats just they way things go sometimes...
