I was told it's almost impossible to get a group moderated, and
then who will spend the time moderating it? Someone would have to
read and approve of every message. On a busy day that can be very
time consuming and in time very boring.

The notion that moving to even a lightly moderated web based forum to
get away from the acromony and trolling is at best wishful thinking.

Learning how to filter out the riff-raff/trolls/gremlins is a better
solution. Getting away from broken newsreaders like Outlook Express is
an even better idea. Exercise your brain cells and learn how to use the
tools that are availalbe. Don't depend on some alturistic moderator to
protect you from the undesirables.
==========================
Moderators make me nervous because I have witnessed favoritism in the past.
If there's a disagreement they'll side with one group and alienate the other
side - you know what I mean. And you know who they'll ban!

Part of the difficulty people have in killfiling the main troll here is he
constantly uses the names of other posters, legitimate posters to do his
trolling. If they killfiled that name (nym) they killfiled the legitimate
poster as well. People don't want to to that. When not trolling us he
uses his own nym. Very slick troll. The other troll nym-shifts constantly
making it hard to avoid his posts.
