I would like to respectfully ask why so many of you tolerate this newsgroup.
It seems to be full of trolls and other types of folks that get their
jollies by antagonizing other members of the group. There are some very
knowledgeable members of this group and I have learned much from being a
member of this group. Year after year the problems in this newsgroup worsen.
That is just the nature of Usenet and it will only get worse with time.
Have you ever considered moving this forum (essentially all of the good
folks in this forum) to another location such as groups on Astromart or some
other location where folks will have to post using their real names and real
email addresses? It seems that this solution would eliminate all of the
trolls and other annoyances and we could have astronomy discussions without
all of the flame wars. It seems that if a new home could be found, the group
could be vacated rather quickly.

Regards,
