In the end, it is the moderator's responsibility to determine how he or she wished to have the list moderated. I this case, Dennis has laid out how he wishes the list to be moderated.

I would think that it's the moderator's responsibility and no one else
(elders or otherwise) to filter the various threads. There are certain
topics that are completely off topic like politics and should be cutoff.
But, there are others that are technical and very informative which are
gleaned from years of experience that allow us to pick up information that
is very helpful. I welcome those. So, you need to have a jeweler's eye!

Bit odd you bring this up now when I just got through posting in a thread
about 2 sided boards, and that went into some other things. My experience,
someone else about car radios using the same manufacturing methods and all,
one with their own stereo unit the fixed by fixing a 2 sided board.
Now there's some thread drift forya, but it is still pertinent to the
subject. Of course WW2 is not. I have a group and I was thinking what I
would do. I would probably get in there and say "this one can slide, but
anymore of this political shit and we are talking action, I do not want it
here". And that it makes enemies easier than it makes friends.
But now there is the Fluke 3300 thread. That is not a Tek scope. I have
no problem with it, I think maybe they could have been spurred on to my
group but there are not enough members now to be sure to get anything good
back. If that is close enough to on topic fine. Good that you don't want to
stifle.
I think the thing here is that in moderating these, you can't just grind a
line into concrete. That's why we have human moderators. (and judges and
whatever)
You could send some to my group, which I made specifically for other test
equipment. But I don't want anyone forced. I don't want to force anyone to
do anything. Not the WW2 thing though.
Put it this way, I may respond in threads that go political, but I will
never start one. I have more respect than that.
