I don’t know who the moderator(s) are now? He/she/they keep a very low profile,
which I suppose is a good thing. I remember Ray was originally involved, then
Dave McCue was doing it, but that’s going back quite a while now. I might have
missed an update on that in the interim.
There must be some form of moderation happening though, coz recently I posted
(during the PPG discussion) a post containing static test stand results (Pc &
Thrust) with accompanying propellant formulations which was blocked from
getting through. So there is some form of functioning moderation active.

Terry:
I have to agree with Troy.
The well named Mr. Fink is not someone who should be posting to this
list—whilst he is plainly at least amateurish, he is no amateur rocket
builder—and were this list properly curated he would have been blocked long ago.
All of which is intended to observe that the problem here may be with the
moderation—or lack thereof—of the list.
You are too valuable a resource to this community to lose over so easily solved
a problem: I speak out of turn here, but perhaps you would consider becoming
moderator of this list? Few seem to me better qualified....

A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.
--- Winston Churchill (among others)
I've been on Arocket for almost as long as it's been in existence. Probably
longer than some people on the list have been alive. There's been lots of
good
information, and some garbage posts. But I'm damn tired of hearing about
how hydrogen is the bestest fuel, good for rockets, airplanes,
fireworks(?!?!?)...probably should be a daily dietary supplement. It's almost
as
tiresome as listening to a certain US president...
I know, I can always delete posts. But each such post is an annoyance,
especially when the poster is a fanatic by Churchill's quote. And with
everything going on in the US right now, I certainly don't need any more
annoyance in my life.
I'll miss hearing about real rocketry from people who do real rocketry (rather
than those who pretend). But the annoyance factor has finally overshadowed
the utility -- at least for me; I don't know about anyone else.
And all you real rocketeers, keep plugging. Don't blow yerself up.
