Someone who'll appreciate the honour of being named on the 'uk.d-i-y.moderated Potential Moderators' list, Jim.

class B radio man ...tee hee

Radio Telephone Operator Man.

Deal. Me, you, Roland, and Geraldine Stewart as the initial moderation team, with Gareth Alun Evans G4SDW as Apprentice Moderator-In-Training/Coffee Boy (CB).

This proposal will sail through. I predict an *avalanche* of Yes votes positively flooding in when the poll open.

but what he really wanted was.....

she would chop all you bastards off .....

Me too. I'd start by banning everyone who simply hits reply quoting every single post in the thread.

Because it is really annoying and socially irresponsible. Next question?

don't see the problem

Says Roger, quoting every single post in the thread as he does so.

so it is not a problem

Not according to Roger, Jim, no, Jim. Thanks, Jim.

I hate to be literal minded when people are having fun, but it is actually the number of lines that is the problem, not the number of posts. Good newsreaders will allow you to toggle seeing quoted text, which goes some way to ameliorate the problem, but I can't find one for os x.

There?s always an excuse, isn?t there, Roger?

PS; NewsTap allows toggling quoted text, so a cheap secondhand iPad might still be your route to Usenet Joy.

It's a sure-fire winner!

Moderation and DIY go together like rabid right-wing beliefs and decrepit old men.
