Does this forum not have a moderator who can filter/delete/censor out some
of this stuff that doesn't have anything to do with RVing ?

No, it's not moderated. This is an alt group. On Usenet. Unmoderated.

Try rec.outdoors.rv-travel. There are a lot of off topic posts there,
however your questions will be answered.

Bull f.cking sh.t.

rec.outdoors.rv.travel is a cesspool of spam and off topic discussion. The
regulars post endlessly about all sort of prattle, and if someone puts a new
piece of Formica in their dilapidated Airstream, it draws about 300 follow
up posts.

There are braindead political lecturers who go on endlessly about things
they actually think other people care about, but haven't got a clue.

Usenet has crap and spam.

You're an adult. Cope. This group is at least a decent place to get
straight answers. Until all the rabble move in, that is, and then it will
suffer the death of dozens of other good newsgroups.

By the way, do you have an RV related question? That might be a good start.
There are folks here who would love to help you.

ARGH!! [ROFL] [wiping tears]

C'mon, Steve! How do you REALLY feel? <BG>

Amen.

Agreed.

Nah! Only if we let them. Don't *EVER* reply to trolls or spam and ensure
that the message to which you are replying is NOT crossposted.

> There are folks here who would love to help you.

Nice sales spiel. ...and right on the money.

I agree with the above posted stuff. I have deleted rec.outdoors.rv.travel
from my folder list some time ago for exactly these reasons.

This group really is not bad at all. You can get a more advanced news
reader like Forte Agent that has some pretty good filters that can be
utilized to look for cross posts and such.
