Does this group have a moderator to delete all the crap (e.g. product
selling, spam, etc.)? It has been a couple years since being here and
it is annoying to wade through all the garbage.

This group is quite tame compared to others. No, no moderator.

Try using your killfile to kill all subjects that start with "FS:" or
"FA:" and kill any authors that bug you.

I second this opinion. No mod please. You're allowed to skip amy
message you like. Usually the subject line will give a good hint. As
far as garbage in concerned: try leeching a group on a general issue
like politics for a week and then combe back. You'll never complain
again!

Yes, thanks for your perspective. I will accept it as reality and take
some of the measures suggested.
