Re: 3rd RFD: rec.woodworking.all-ages

That's not entirely the best solution either, though, as *every* group in the alt. hierarchy is frequently spammed with all kinds of garbage. I'm sure that Vito and Susan don't want to go there.

More appropriate locations might be christnet.woodworking soc.religion.christian.woodworking

Yes, of course I'm aware that this sort of thing happens. But surely you are aware as well that in America, in the vast majority of cases, even today, when a couple marries, the wife assumes the husband's surname.

Then why is Susan still discussing which words are to be permitted, and which to be prohibited? Sounds to me like she's still planning to be a moderator, or at least a nanny.

I subscribe to several alt. newsgroups that have as little, if not less, spam and garbage as r.ww. It's entirely possible that my news provider is filtering at their server, however.

Maybe, but I don't see any other similar groups within either hierarchy. But that doesn't mean that they wouldn't allow VK to establish his own fiefdom there.

I am too old for this s*it.

Somehow, I am willing to bet that one has already been used, but WTF, I couldn't help myself.

It is your provider filtering and/or not peering with providers that allow spaming type activities.

Impossible. This proposal is for an unmoderated group, which would have the qualitative effect of duplicating the existing group with a different name.

so I can call you a self righteous asshole and that's fine?

It is possible, albeit difficult, to create a moderated group in alt.*

This would seem to be the best choice. Note that the christnet.* hierarchy is administered by a different group of people from the big-8, so that proposal (or one for alt.*) would be off-topic to news.groups.

No, that's in the "rude and disrespectful" category. You get points for accuracy, though, which may redeem you...
