I-T
There were extensive discussions over the issues and possible resolutions of issues leading up the AUP. As part of the process of looking at alternatives, I made the point that inevitably an alternate venue would appear for those who are not comfortable with a degree of moderation. (I called it, mostly tongue-cheek, AMSAT-BS.) There are several Yahoo groups which formed this way. Thanks for stepping up and doing this for those who need it.

I have been the member of many E-Mail groups like this that start to censor, and it does have it's place. But then sometime a fully uncensored place is also needed to discuss things where stepping on someones toes you don't have to worry about being threatened about being removed from the list. So many of these other groups made a secondary list where these non PC or not approved discussions can take place.
I just made one for here is anyone feels like they want or need to use it.

Bbo. so clever.
this is how the "leaders" of Amsat, you know the ones who somewhere in a
discussion (and I see you reached this stage as well) start to tell everyone "none of this discussion is launching anything into space"... people blow fuses.
YOU personalized the discussion. Until your post, the discussion was
about concepts...but "YOU" went into and made it a personal engagement.
it is along with the "nothing is helping us launch satellites" the last
refugee of people trying to defend something that is essentially not defense able Have a great weekend...go out and do something...it will help that blood pressure.

This is almost farcical. Unable to launch effective satellites and more or less flailing as an organization the board has now turned to a acceptable use policy which is so broad as to be useless...it boils down to "things we like are good and things we dont like are bad".

This is welcome and it took entirely too long. Its effectiveness will entirely be determined by enforcement: swift and sure.
