... In article , says... Great, that is my aim. Actually its working. Seems like Brian has lost it. Oh well. I think it's getting close to the time to abandon Usenet once and for all. The signal to noise ratio is quite dismal these days. It's been a good run for me at more than 24 years. It's a shame too. And I just re-upped my account so I could continue to moderate sci.space.tech and sci.space.science, but probably won't in the coming year. Jeff -- Greg D.

Its interesting though that I don't see any spam just low traffic which for
those who did not realise was the reason for this thread in the first place. the main reason I prefer this mode is that its a textual standard interface through a client. Web based systems are all different and often over clogged with worthless repeating links and widgets so finding any useful content is just far too much trouble. Yes, I'm in fact saying the opposite to you. to me the signal to noise ratio of web sites is far worse than here because you have no control. Here you can killfile things and filter, but you can only get rid of adverts on web sites not the mindless like this or plus that and daft animated crap that passes for good design these days.

Folks are always welcome to try posting to sci.space.tech and sci.space.science. I try to have an even-handed moderation policy. I try to moderate on content alone, NOT the poster.
