William Mook is being given the bum's rush by sci.space.* moderators. Send in your messages of protest.

I haven't been able to get ANY of my comments posted in ANY moderated
sci.space.* group since September 3, 2004. Why? When I mentioned
this outrage publicly I did get a response to my last posting. Here
it is.

What a crock of sh*t

If the US is in the business of liberating the world, then we must
first liberate the minds of those teenage boys and girls growing up
under the thumb of muslim clerics. We can best do this by doing
anything we can do to inspire the imagination of those boys and girls.
This is achieved by space travel development and commercial space
development.

Isn't it? sci.space.tech is nearly dead, almost as bad as
sci.space.moderated.

Take every thread and every post you are interested in, trim out all the
headers, add sci.space.policy to the header, and repost it in
sci.space.policy with your reply. It will drive George nuts.

Which is more nearly dead?

A newsgroup with lots of traffic but signal/noise = nearly zero.

A newsgroup with a little traffic but signal/noise = 1000.

People like yourself damage the health of the former.

People like George improve the health of the latter.

Which does not explain your apparent inability to use a filter file.

Rand Simborg? Who's he?

People like George improve the health of the latter.

Which explains why nothing of significance is ever posted there.

Maybe you should try posting something both on-topic AND not stark
raving looney. Just a suggestion.

When I mentioned this outrage


Outrage?

William, please calm down.

You should be more specific than this.
Whatever is going on here is not involving the
groups other than sci.space.moderated.

As far as I can tell you've been posting
your usual rate to .tech and .science
and I've been approving it. I have six
articles of yours in the approved and posted
out to the internet folder for .tech/.science

George,

they're not coming up for me on my system. I guess that's the
problem. AND, others have not appeared and I've gotten no heads up.
So, this is why I said what I said.

At some point we must conclude its not really worth the effort.
I've got things I must do every day, and if my comments and thoughts
are no welcome, I have plenty of other venues in which to air them.

Thanks for the info.

Bill

The usenet moderation system is crap.
It has several single points of failure, even before it gets to the moderators
mailbox.

The mail system or news software at the posters newsserver can drop the
message on the floor, the moderator mail gateway can fall over/bounce
messages/...
