[sdiy] new list: synth_diy @yahoo

[James R. Coplin]

Also, Yahoo search is really broken.  I have troubles in most of the groups
I am on that have moved there finding anything without reading back through
all the threads.  I would move to a more moderated list but I think Yahoo is
a move in the wrong direction.

I will not use Yahoo groups.

I've been on them, the advertising is an eye sore.

Yahoo groups also attract trolls and spammers, so unless each and every
message
has to be approved by a moderator, they get in and drop their turds in the
punchbowl.  And if every message is moderated, it can become a reasonably
large
task - which will exhaust the moderator who will eventually relax the rules
-
and then the trolls can get in again.

I believe that the best solution is to ignore the troll.

I might consider another list if this were a chronic problem, but in
reality,
it is rather rare.
