I stand by my original post - it's really not fair to the rest of the group
for a very small (but very vocal) minority to ruin things for the rest of
the group. Been there, done that - and If they won't go away on their own
then I'll have to resort to other means to filter out the "noise".

And I really don't follow your logic about multiple interest groups - if
someone isn't able to differentiate between them they really don't have any
business posting on the Internet.

I've tried to show support for you, both in e-mails and public postings on
the list since I've been in the same situation as a group moderator, though
I guess in this particular case that support apparently wasn't warranted.
