Wouldn't this be a better group if it was moderated? Has anyone ever considered that?

Yep, but they sobered up in a couple of days. I find it interesting that even the ones that have suggested the need to be moderated have decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to actually go through the process.

Since your post has nothing to do with home repair, you should have used OT in your subject line.
There, you've been moderated. Feel better?

No problem. You can join a moderated group. It is telling that you want to censor others, though.

You should hang out at alt.hvac They are a much friendlier group and will answer all your home repair questions.

Go to any home improvement supply house, hardware store, industrial supply house or anywhere a bunch of reprobates hang out and talk about anything and everything and that's what you'll find here. Many of us, out of consideration, will put "OT" Off Topic in the title of any post that has nothing to with home repair, construction or improvement. This is for the more sensitive among us who may be upset if something about politics, religion or naked women is posted. It makes it easy for anyone to filter out Off Topic posts. You may also filter out certain individual posters if you hate and despise them for the content of what they may write. It's very easy to moderate what you see by setting up your newsreader to filter out anything you don't like. ^_^

Gun nuts should always be protected by a properly fitted cup and athletic supporter. ^_^

Well, I don't know that the OP wants to "censor" others in the manner that I assume you imply. (If my assumption is wrong, accept this early apology and ignore the rest of this post.)
IMO, the desire to keep this group a bit more focused on home repair issues is not a bad thing. I hope that is what the OP is asking about.
The completely OT subjects are bad enough, even when called out as such in the subject line, but that's not biggest problem with a.h.r. these days, IMHO.
We reached the point where the mere mention of "code" and/or "law" in relation to a home repair topic eventually leads to someone saying the government is taking over our lives, we all should carry guns, your mother is a leftist commie, FU, Well, FU too!
How many threads that actually started out as a legitimate home repair thread eventually spiraled down into political rantings from those on both sides of the aisle, those in the middle of the aisle and those that don't want others to share any aisle with them?
It's not like there aren't enough usenet groups dedicated to those types of discussions...why does so much of that have to take place in a.h.r.?

We're only slightly on topic in this thread.
These guys act just like I'd expect a bunch of cranky old guys to act.
Unfortunately, a lot of these cranky old guys repair things too.
It's getting harder to tell if they ever contribute anything useful as my kill file grows.
If people would cultivate their kill files instead of engaging in pointless battles, this problem would resolve itself without a moderator.

Bad puns are a little off target, don't you think?
