I do agree that there should be an "off topic" section for people who aren't 
directly discussing colloidal silver. It's understandable that during these 
recent months of extraordinary and unusual circumstances, some of us would veer 
from a CS-only discussion. However, for those who signed on to this egroup 
solely to discuss colloidal silver, I can understand their frustration at not 
receiving posts that are relevant to them. 

 

Mike Devour abandoned this group years ago, leaving it without a moderator. 
After that--and this is from my memory of awhile back, so I might be missing 
some details or mis-remembering--some members got in touch with him and asked 
him to either return to moderate, or else give them control of the group so 
they could moderate the group themselves. That request was not met. (If anyone 
has something to add or correct, please do so.)

 

This leaves the group without moderation, and without a way to ban or remove 
members.

 

So my question is, how do we fix this? Moving the group so it can be moderated 
is very likely going to cost money. Are members willing to pay for that 
privilege? If so, how much money? (This leads me to the question, *who* is 
paying for the group now? Because eskimo.com is a server, and servers cost 
money.)

 

If the majority of people don't want to donate funds, is there any way to 
separate off-topic people from on-topic people, cyber-wise? Or must we simply 
put "OT" in the subject line so people who don't want to see those posts can 
simply delete them? Of course, the subject line itself generally gives a clue, 
but I *can* understand someone not wanting to have their Inbox cluttered with 
what they consider irrelevant information.

 

So . . . any suggestions (made in a civil tone)?
