Yes, I would like to see better quality material sent over the
news groups.  I normally scan them for frequency updates and changes
(the shortwave areas) and for equipment and frequency updates (the
scanner areas).  Inflated personal opinions and rambling speeches have
no place in a forum that is specifically set up for information
exchange.  I can think of a few people who are famous for cluttering up
these systems.  For the sake of discretion, I will not mention their
names.
