Earlier: "... I'm here for the dialog with anyone who wants to read and possibly respond. I believe the list belongs to all of us, altogether, future readers, too. Once the 2nd person joins, it's a 50/50 proposition. The third person makes it a 33/33/33 proposition, and so on...calling someone else's contributions "obsessive" merely identifies ourselves as intolerant, bored, or recalcitrant. I value every member, especially the provocative posts, the ones that make me think, and make me reconsider my point of view..."
One response: "...This is a noble sentiment...[but]...spend some time on Usenet...unrestricted dialog...a swamp..."
Apples and oranges.
This groups is moderated to delete spam, vandalism and extended off-topic threads. So, if someone is not a spammer, not a vandal, and is on-topic, the moderators don't have to spend a moment dealing with them - let their posts through. Then it's up to us users to read, or to scroll on.
I do not understand the complaints against posts that are not spam, not vandalism, not off topic. I scroll past many non-spam, non-vandalism, on-topic threads because I'm not interested. Why would I ask the moderator to block the contributors to and readers of those threads?
