A moderated group: Real Amateur Astronomy
Dear fellow Sci.astro.amatuer members,
Some time ago I put together a group called Real Amateur Astronomy, not usenet but a member of Googlegroups. Since we are having so much of a problem with these hackers spammers, why not post to my group as I'm already the moderator. To send a message to our group just e- Sincerely and with Best wishes, P. Edward Murray |

Sam,
All I'm saying is that the site is up and it will be moderated IF folks would like to use it without being bothered by hackers, spammers and undesirable cranks etc. Ed |

You said it best yourself - it's not usenet. -- I recommend Macs to my friends, and Windows machines to those whom I don't mind billing by the hour |

Edward Murray I prefer USENET... I can read it with my mail. It's easy to filter out stuff I don't want to see.... But most important, we are a community... a community of folks interested in amateur astronomy... news, resources, equipment and technique related to observing. This is where it's at for me! Unfortunately there is almost no news, very little resources and no equipment and techniques being discussed on Sci.astro any more. This maybe usenet, but where are the discussions of new techniques and equipment for amateurs? In my opinion, this is the model T crowd on this channel. Over and out... Illinois Uncle |

Sam, All I'm saying is that the site is up and it will be moderated IF folks would like to use it without being bothered by hackers, spammers and undesirable cranks etc. Ed You're not the first one suggesting such a solution. And that's the disadvantage of it: the Usenet sci.astro.amateur newsgroup would be split up into several communities spread here and there on various web sites. Some would go to your site, others would go to a second site, and still others would go to a third site, etc. And some would remain here.... Spam is indeed a problem but can be fought with spam filters. Splitting up the community into several groups isolated from one another is a much harder problem to solve. Google around for awhile and you'll find a quite large number of web based amateur astronomy communities out there - we just don't need still another one. If you really want to leave s.a.a. due to all the spamming here, why not instead join some already existing web-based amateur astronomy community? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Grev Turegatan 40, SE-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at stockholm dot bostream dot se WWW: http://stjarnhimlen.se/ |
