Moderated group (was Re: To Peter Stewaret)

I've observed this newsgroup for many years. The pattern is predictable enough: first, a real genealogical question/problem is posted; two or three postings into the original thread, the question degenerates into a contest of wills; very rapidly, the question becomes a free-for-all and brawl; and finally, the genealogical question transmogrifies into a pathetic circus.

A moderated newsgroup, while it has drawbacks, is perhaps preferable to all the "sound and fury" (thanks to Mr. Hollick for the phrase) one finds here. Fortunately for the rest of us in the real world out there, who don't give a **** about people's agendas in this group, the archives can be searched by keyword, which allows the researcher to bypass the vast majority of the dross.

No, but most of us would recognise harassment.

I wonder how the gentleman at Latrobe would feel to be the ongoing butt
of some stranger's "joke"?
