Hello, I've been posting since the late '90's in the sci.astro.seti
newsgroup (and a few others) and have decided to experiment with the
creation of a moderated group called The SETI Society (using google's
neat new groups interface.) The sci.astro.seti newsgroup has had the
privilege over the years of having several respectable scientists,
writers, astronomers, and others participating. Lately it seems like
most of the posts are from nutbags and spOrgers. That is why I think
it is time to create this new moderated forum. It is for those who
are interested in SETI science, discussing SETI, Astrobiology or
related fields (especially Astronomy), or getting SETI news, promoting
research or even speculating about SETI are welcome to join.
To apply go to:
http://www.groups.google.com/group/setisociety
You are welcome to join if you have posted exclusively ON-TOPIC posts
on any of usenet's science domains (subject to a review of your
posting history.) If you frequently like to go off-topic on usenet
(i.e. constantly interjecting politics, religion/atheism, insulting
others or you are just a nutbag), don't even bother applying, you will
be banned. Even talking about spaceprobes from ET is O.K., (but no
UFO conspiracy nuts please!)
Please subscribe, participate and get the latest SETI related news and
discussion.
Keep searching! Jason H. |

Topic/author banishment right from the very get go. I'm impressed.
SETI can't take the heat, so they simply eliminate any possible public
source of fire from the very beginning. Smart move guys, pretty much
exactly as it almost worked for Hitler.

If someone posted a suggestion that the SETI crowd themselves are a
bunch of nutbags would that be off topic?

Good idea Jason! It is a shame that it has to come to this
but something has to be done! As you may have noticed, I
have been coming here less and less often since the NG was
hijacked by the small, erratic few. This may be the answer.
Keep up the good work and keep searching! Thanx,

You're a whole lot smarter and more honest than SETI. Or, am I wrong
about that as well?

Hello,
I've just made the forum
http://www.groups.google.com/group/setisociety
readable by the public (i.e. you don't need to be a member to read
it). With only 4 members, I hope that more folks will be interested
in participating over time. I also have just created the domain
www.setisociety.org to help steer people toward the forum and to help
promote SETI science, Astrobiology and other sciences that affect SETI
such as Astronomy, geology, radio science etc, and of course to help
disseminate SETI news and communication amongst SETI professionals,
amateurs and enthusiasts.
One of the sci.astro.seti regulars (and a very longtime usenet
user) had suggested that I use the SETI League's public posting forum
instead of further "balkanizing" the SETI community. Perhaps there is
merit to this suggestion, however I've attempted in the past to make
posts to that forum, without success, and e-mails to them have gone un-
answered.
I apologize if some people are put off by my doing this, I only
hope to promote communication regarding SETI with the creation of this
forum; if it doesn't work out, at least I can say that I tried.
Thanks to the sci.astro and sci.astro.amateur newgroups for abliging
me this cross-post (as an amateur astronomer I like to think that SETI
is sometimes on-topic, especially in the popular culture, astronomy
magazines and with many who look through my scope and ask about it of
their own volition about life in space at public outreach events.)
Best regards, Jason H.

Snookered folks and thus easily dumbfounded fools do need to be kept off
the public streets.
Got takers?
