There is no "moderation".

His title (if you want to call it that) is entirely self appointed and
deliberately deceptive.  ASA has no "Moderator" (or Group Host).  Stick
around.  I don't have him kill-filtered but most do after awhile as he
tends toward the profane and is often malicious in his attacks.  He also
posts as several aliases.  There's about seven and the count's rising
(sort of like Bass' BBB complaints).  Like Bass he frequently tends to
spam the Group with all sorts of nonsense (mostly about Bass).  He
"runs" several websites all hosted through anonymous servers.
Goofysplace.com, bassburglaralarm.com, alarmsuperstore.com,
altsecurityalarms.com (now redirected to an "association" he's set up).
  Sad really.
