Just in case anyone is interested, there is a vote being held regarding
the creation of a new group, uk.radio.amateur.moderated. Some say (I among
them) that the existing unmoderated group uk.radio.amateur is not fit for
purpose. I urge anyone with an interest in amateur radio to consider
casting their vote for the creation of u.r.a.moderated. The second Call

Hahaha :-)

There's nothing worth saving in uk.radio.amateur .

And the group in question ("Moderated") was proposed, RFDed,
voted on and it failed. After an excruciating discussion
of the merits of the group. Why would you try a second
(or a third) time?

Insanity is something something something...

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein"

There are grown adults in that group, who
have been fighting with one another for 20 years.
One incident involved a trip to court.
Why should they stop now ? Only the grave diggers
shovel can stop them, one at a time.

HTH,

I've seen that attributed to Einstein recently, but it doesn't sound
to me like something he would say. And in fact, if he did say it,
nobody knew about it till the closing years of the twentieth century.
It's also been attributed to Ben Franklin, most likely also wrongly.

Quote: 'I respectfully suggest that the quote "The definition of
insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to
come out different" is a misattribution to both Franklin and
Einstein. According to Google news archive, the earliest news article
attributing the quote to Franklin is from 2004. The earliest
attribution to Einstein is 1998.'

f_insanity...

In the 1980's, people in twelve-step groups often repeated this quote
or a variant of it, but they never attributed it to Einstein or
anyone else. If Einstein actually had said it, I think an attribution
would have appeared long before 1998.

Further proof: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Narcotics_Anonymous
cites a 1981 use of the quote, and links to a PDF showing it (which I
didn't open).

Your post is off-topic here hence it is spam. Posting about issues with
a different and UNRELATED newsgroup is spam. Stop spamming your choice
for some other newsgroup. Yeah, another AIOE poster harming the
reputation of that *unregistered* provider.

As you wish. I'll go through the vote process shortly and vote no,
simply because I don't like spammers.

Try posting in on-topic locations instead?

This is absurd because Windows 8 does support wireless so the OP decided
to post here.

Some of you really need to learn to ignore things you don't like and
move on rather than replying to something which makes no sense.

Troll here [Real one].

Partly because experimental evidence (ie common experience) refutes
that.

And yet here you are, not ignoring my post, despite apparently not
liking it. Good times.
