Does anyone know of a moderated Google group covering bicycles?
I see that this Usenet group is still full of spam and other garbage, and because of that I've fallen off reading it very often. Dave |

Eternal September does a pretty good job of keeping spam out of this group. Of course, I have to filter the nutcases myself, but they identify themselves very quickly and then I can forget they exist. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

Dave It's easy to filter out the spam and other garbage using filters in Thunderbird or other news-readers. Remember to use both e-mail address filters and subject filters. There are often threads attacking a specific person where you may not want to filter out everyone responding to the thread. Here's the filter list I have at this point in time, just add these filters and the group cleans up nicely: e-mail address filters ----------------------- Subject Filters --------------- Dolan Krygowski's Krygowski Tom Sherman |

If you seek a quiter place, you could check out Peter J White's Bicycle Lifestyle list. You can subscribe as a mailing list, or read over the web, but there's no NNTP (newsreader) access: http://groups.google.com/group/bicyclelifestyle/ Disclaimer: I'm a volunteer moderator (read: spam killer) for the list. As others have pointed out, you can also switch to a newsreader with killfile capabilities. I do this, with a fairly short, but brutal killfile. There isn't much wheat left in this group once the chaff is gone. -- Kristian Zoerhoff |

Dave I sure hope you find what you are looking for because I can see that you would bore us out of our freaking skulls. ALL moderated groups, without any exceptions, are for dullards and numbskulls. I personally would not be caught dead on one. Imagine anyone having the effrontery to pass judgment on a post of mine! What an outrage that would be.

It is never necessary to filter anyone. The best thing he could do is to filter himself right out of these groups. After all, he just wants to talk to himself.

Gee, it certainly is too bad that you are so easily offended. Perhaps
after you have removed your pink tu-tu and your ballet slippers, you will give some thought to the question of why you feel so threatened when you read anything you don't approve of. You could also talk to a shrink about it. Just don't wear the tu-tu and ballet slippers when you go see the shrink, OK? |
