Patrick,

Perhaps dealing with the lunatic fringe is easier than yet another
moderated group. And there is a potential for misuse of the moderation.
One example is where certain topics are deemed to be *Off-Topic* while
the consumption of alcoholic beverages seems to be allowed ... very
confusing. Here on s.a.a. it is a free for all, but it's easy enough to
ignore the posts and topics that are obvious trolls. As well as posts by
people hiding behind a "handle"...... This makes it bearable.


Regards

Bill
