ASTRO: YaHoo equivalent of the USENET sci.astro.amateur

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sci_astro_amateur/

This is the YaHoo equivalent of the USENET sci.astro.amateur (SAA).
Moderation will be kept to a minimum but will be used to exclude
obviously obnoxious or disruptive behavior. Additional moderators are
welcome.

It is indeed unfortunate that once any technology has been out in the
public after its initial success, it attracts many undesirable
elements and, in the end, some level of control is necessary. When
automobiles first took to the roads, there were no traffic controls.
And, as much as those in our generation abhor moderation, a
reasonable
level fosters more productive communications.

Many of you are frequent posters to several YaHoo Groups. So, I hope
and believe you will consider this option a viable and practical one,
in the face of the recent onslaught in SAA of what appears to be much
more than your typical spam.

The principal players and originators of SAA are particularly
welcomed
to act as additional moderators and to post the inaugural message.

Respectfully.

I don't like yahoo groups they are slow....
Took like a couple of hours for my post to see it...
Plus the adds, web page is slower. Why not just ask some one to host a
Private Newsgroup. I do this, for business, family and friends...

Downside is nobody would know about it. Not unless you knew someone who was
on it. But it does work for no spam or flooding. Plus it's password and not
freely accessed...

Might as well have a mailing list.
