From bogus at somewhere.invalid Sun Jun 27 12:38:52 2004 From: bogus at somewhere.invalid (Carey Gregory) Date: Wed Jan 12 17:26:29 2005 Subject: [REVIEW] alt.emergency-services.moderated Message-ID: Newsgroup: alt.emergency-services.moderated Description: Emergency services (Moderated) Moderated: yes Charter-location: http://www.gw-tech.com/aesm/charter.txt FAQ-Location: Under construction Reviewer: "Carey Gregory" Review-Date: 25 June 2004 alt.emergency-services.moderated is a new moderated group for the firefighting, emergency medical services, and rescue communities. It is an alternative to existing unmoderated groups such as misc.emerg-services, alt.med.ems, and alt.firefighters. These groups have been overrun with spam and trolls over the last couple of years, so a moderated group was formed for those with a genuine interest in these fields. The group's moderation policy prohibits spam, trolls, excessive flames, and off-topic posts. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio on this group is very high. AOL hasn't made this group to its customers yet, but I wish they would. -- Carey Gregory
