Hi Everybody,
I thought this newsgroup was people who enjoyed recumbents. Does the group
have a moderator to filter the childish postings from the people who enjoy
discussing the topic of this newsgroup.
Seems like this group has alot of trash talkers....

Sorry old sod, but this newsgroup has always been just for idiots,
scoundrels and jerks. If you do not fall into these categories, then you
should leave forthwith and never darken our door again. Hells Bells, we
would not know what to do if anyone with any intelligence ever showed up
here.

There used to be a 'Group Moderator" [1], but he was only here on
alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent for "Bass fishing".

Moderated forums are good homes for the too easily offended and those
who can not stand up for themselves when the discussion gets heated.

I used to agree with the above sentiment expressed by Mr. Sherman, but I do
not anymore. Why? Newsgroups that are unmoderated are strictly for idiots,
scoundrels and jerks. I have had to learn this the hard way. Apparently, Mr.
Sherman is incapable of learning this very elementary thing about
unmoderated forums.
The most interesting thing about Mr. Sherman to me is how a full time
employee, a civil engineer no less, can find the time to engage in this
foolishness known as Usenet since it is a total waste of time and energy. It
is impossible for me to believe that he does not have better things to do
than to be posting to ARBR.
Moderated forums are also just chock full of wasted messages which go
nowhere, but at least they keep spamming trolls at bay. If I were a
moderator of a forum I can honestly say I would eliminate 90% of all
messages due to their stupidity and irrelevance. I am the expert on these
subjects as any number of ARBR'ers can attest.
I am only going to look in on this group in the future on a very selective
basis when I feel the need to administer some good ass kicking. In the
meantime, you can all go fuck yourselves!

Yo Johnny Sunset / Tom Sherman,
"Thank You" for pointing out the difference between the members who
participate in moderated and non moderated groups. Why would one get
offended if the poster was mature enough to stay focused on the topic of
that newsgroup such as bicycles recumbent instead of the poster displaying
his lack of intelligence by continually repeating himself ten times in a
recent posting that has nothing to do with recumbent bikes.

Bottom post please, it's easier to follow.
Well there is a difference between the posts made by E.D. and the troll
that posts the same message 25 times a day. The troll is most annoying,
but both have earned a spot in my bozo filter.

No this is not a moderated group. Try brol. They do a pretty good job of
keeping the garbage down to a minimum.

Or just use filters here. I do.

There is some good info here from time to time, but have had to use
kill filters a bit.
