I am only quoting what you published reference items 9 and
10. In some other messages from you there is also mention of vetting and
banning. Why is this such a problem with you. No one else seems to be concerned.
I am merely pointing out concerns that I have about
some of your postings where vetting and banning keeps cropping
up.
My argument and others is that one should be allowed
to get their opinion heard without fear or favour and I do no like to bombarded
with words that imply restrictive practice.
I am not aware of any attack going on but surely I am
permitted to challenge what others say, if it effects me and in this case
the move to the Yahoo reflector does, as it does others as well and they are
expressing their opinions daily.
It particularly effects me since I am one of the few radio
amateurs that are active daily on 500 and 137 khz and a voice
on the reflector is useful to update activity, propagation
conditions, DX alerts and technical data about changes of
equipment, power etc.
Modes currently available when in CQ mode ie CW
or Opera.

Dear Mal,
Who said anything about ME being a moderator of the LF group? Not
me.
Please, stop this personal and nasty hate campaign.

I am concerned about items 9 and 10
Messages can be VETTED and DIFFICULT members
banned.
Sounds like a POLICE state and what are the
credentials of those VETTING and what is a DIFFICULT member probably someone
who has a different opinion or point of view from his or even a sense of
HUMOUR
What ever happens avoid him as a
moderator

Subject: LF: An "LF-reflector" Yahoo
group instead .....PLEASE
With the latest outage (5 days already) may I again suggest
that the LF-reflector migrates to a Yahoo group?
In over 10 years I
have rarely had delays in messages, outages, or problems with any group to
which I belong or moderate.
Instead they have had these
advantages:
- Messages can be read on the web if preferred (saves cluttered
in-boxes)
- There is rarely a delay of more than a few minutes before messages
are received.
- All messages are archived and searchable.
- Large files can be stored.
- Photos can be stored - 100Gigs worth.
- Links can be stored/shared
- Videos can be stored.
- Polls can be run.
- Messages can be vetted if preferred (by a number of moderators to
speed up the process)
- Difficult members can be banned in exceptional circumstances.
- Spam messages can be filtered
- Calendars can be set up (for sked times, news of tests etc)
The advantages go ON and ON and, frankly, I simply cannot
understand why the change hasn't made years ago. With the problems this
week it is surely time.
To set up a new Yahoo group called
"LF-reflector" (or whatever) would take about 30 seconds and migration to
it by all interested members here would take about a day at most. All you
need is to agree a group name, who owns it, who can moderate posts and
some basic group ground rules/FAQs.
Please, think about it again.
