I know of several that tried and the post never made it. Two did, but
the rest went bye bye. The unnamed, "no-callsign either" moderator,
who was on me about showing a callsign, has his eye on every post that
comes into Amps mainly to protect one person for any, well lets say,
embarrasing moments.
When a groups moderator censors others posts who contradict one that
is plainly wrong, allowing the wrong comment to show, and not the
correct one, it's not a place to be. Correct being that the one
posting it actually knows what they are talking about! : ) It's even
worse when the moderator lets the one in question take pot shots at
others, and when they reply, the post gets canned before the others
can see it.
Now, I admit, I was one of the ones that was guilty of e-mailing
everyone in my address book and bypassing the moderator. The moderator
aimed that one admonishment about harvesting e-mails at two people,
Rich and myself. However, this moderator must think that neither of us
has an address book on our own without his so-called "harvesting"
going on. I thought I still have the right, by the 1st amendment, to
e-mail anyone I damn well wish. I'm not aware that has EVER been
changed.
Sincerely,
Will

As I understand it, announcements of this group's existence on
the
AMPS group were somewhat censored.
Your understanding is incorrect. There were several
announcements
of
this group, as well as the larger more-established rfamplifiers
group
on Yahoo that made it to AMPs. Everytime someone posted on this
group
that "my announcement did not get posted", I looked at AMPS -
and
it
was, in fact, posted.
### DREAM ON. I checked 'amps' on contesting .com 3
times
now.... with a microscope [pulling up their archives]..... it
ONLY
got posted TWICE..... once from Mike... once from Alek
later........Jim VE7RF
Yes, that is the distinct number of people who claimed to have
attempted to post it and claimed that it was not posted.
I heard from others who said they tried to post the info about the
new group and it did not not get past the censor.
Thank you for the corroborration.

Yet another unidentified station.
