There used to be a heck of a lot more folks on this group than I seenow. Granted I have not checked it out as much as I used to 'cause I'vebeen fiddlin' around with C/L lately so I've been hangin' out onstukastuntworks and stunthanger lately. But I noticed that the numberof posts per day seems to have dropped way off.Phil AMA609

I think RC Universe sucked a lot of the life out of the newsgroup.I was there for a long time, not visiting the newsgroup much, until I found out first hand about their "moderation". After having a post "edited" and another deleted, I have just about called it quits there. The site is a great source of information, but having some moderator on a power trip editing what I write is enough to make steam come out of my ears. I'm not the trouble-making type or name-caller, hot-head, etc.. and the "moderating" I'm talking about was completely inappropriate and uncalled for, in my opinion. And it was done without any warning and with no notification. That is a very big turn-off for me.Viva les newsgroups! (pardon my French, if I was close enough to qualify)Good flying,desmobob

I don't check the group any more than 20 or 30 times a day these days. [I'm working on a project for the Big-8]

Ah. Those be "net-cops."

Folks tell me I need to use CSS & javascript to cut down the filesize for one of my big pages.

Yes.

Thanks! Nice talking with you.

And, of course, this all off-topic. :o)

Sounds a lot like the moderators over at caswellplating.com. Say one thing that doesn't agree with their opinion and they boot you off and edit your posts.. They'll never get another dime of mine...

I had always figured RCU was the only game in town. Then, while looking for information on electric flight, I took a look at RC Groups. That's where I go now... no complaints so far!

Good flying, desmobob
