This post is off-topic, you know. Should you be banned for posting it? Should I be banned for responding to it?

Sure, I'd be glad to moderate it. I already own several groups of my own andI consider it my job to "protect" the members of my groups from junk mail.They didn't join to get everyone's thoughts on religion, the latest MLMcome-ons or any other variety of spam and I, as the group owner, believe mygroup members have a right to be spared the garbage that people love tospread in large groups. Just think of the chaos it would mean if everyone on this group postedanything that they felt like posting anytime that they felt like posting?The few alternative health messages would be lost in the garbage.The owner has banned people in the past for posting spamand I have no doubt that people might be put on moderation if they don'tlearn to moderate themselves.This was a good group and, once we get rid of the excess verbage and go backto discussing alternative health, will be again. Sure, I'd be willing to domy part to make sure that it stays a good group. I've got 3 years investedin being a member of this group and I'm not going to quit just because a lotof new members joined for the wrong reasons.- AnnaAt 01:27 AM 12/30/02 -0000, Brian wrote:>>As to your reaction of forwarding your censorship to the group owner, >I would just ask you, with the volume of posts coming through this >group, would you like the task of moderating it?>>Namaste>Brian>
