Chris (AYT),
Yahoo group moderation is totally optional but there are (albeit rare) situations when totally inappropriate postings need this. Nothing wrong with healthy on-topic discussion but there have been examples on this list of, frankly, very nasty and hurtful comments which would better have been removed.
I shall say nothing further about this (for now) but like Pete (FMT) believe all the collected wisdom here would be better stored and shared in a Yahoo group. It is far more likely to encourage newcomers if the circuits, links, photos and history was more easily available.
What IS the big objection to this?

Yes, I agree with you Mal, and that's why I sent
the 'no thanks' message after Roger outlined the "advantages"....and it's got
even worse now someone has suggested vetting group members!
Chris, G4AYT.

A moderator !!!!!!!!!!!!! or a censor !!!!!!!!!! and if
you have an opinion that differs from others you should be
BANNED.
No discussion, no debate in other words a DICTORSHIP,
hardly democratic.
What next ???????????
I can manage without any of it and get on with amateur
radio and experimentation. These past few days without the reflector has not
hindered my amateur radio activities and I do not need to be vetted by others
!!
Do what you like but leave me OUT

not go for it and start it yourself.
We know some will not move so it
will be an additional facility. Please make sure it is has no taboo,
f
frequencies, modes, opinions, or subjects rules, and no childish
sulking. Another suggestion is to not make it an open group,
meaning that each request for membership should be
accompanied by a very
short introductory message explaining why that membership is
requested.
Then the moderator(s) of the group will decide whether to
accept it or not. I suppose the same is done
presently with the
Majordomo mailer.
And, if that introductory message is convincing,
but up to a point... then the moderator can accept the individual,
but
putting him in moderation status, meaning that every message from him must
be examined by the moderator(s)
before being published. The
moderation status can be removed after a couple of legitimate messages from
the guy,
showing that he is not a troll or spammer.
I use this
method on my soft_radio Yahoo group
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soft_radio/
with
more than 2300 subscribers, and, if memory serves, I had just a couple of
cases where a spam message
got through in more than 8 years of the
existence of that group.
