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 For Votes is in uk.net.news.config:- Subject: 2nd CFV - Create moderated newsgroup uk.radio.amateur.moderated Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 22:19:38 +0000 Message-ID: To receive a ballot paper, you must send a blank email to the Ballot Request Address, which is Please vote! |

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, Paul |

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein" 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.' Source: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:B...e_definition_o 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). -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |

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]. |
