And "KHudson". This is not the place for "fostering discussion" on a
daily basis.

All unmoderated newsgroups suffer topic drift.

Killfile or filter the regular offenders and ignore the rest.

That may be so, but he should start his own news feed on his site, or a
blog.

Seconded. He's a helpful poster for those who need help and the news
articles can be useful info.

I'm unaware of any official document that sets the topic to this group to
only be help with tech issues. It's an alt group.

Have you submitted a "help with HDTV tech" issue that has gone unadressed?
Has *anyone* submitted a "help with HDTV tech" issue that has gone unadressed?

Didn't think so...

I find it interesting that the complaints are coming mostly from lurkers
who don't post *anything* here, be it "issue" answers or industry news.

What does "news feed" mean? I see no clarification of this in the other
replies.

If that's a joke, I certainly don't get it.

Maybe you are seeing a lot of auto-posted spam and call that "feed." I
just killfile those posters so I don't see the spam.

Same here! I find the info he posts interesting, and sometimes useful.
Falls into my definition of topical information in an "alt" *news*
group, which I read to learn, and try to keep up. :)

No, it's now a News Feed IN ADDITION TO a 'help with HDTV tech issues'
group. Of course the hype to help ratio is a lot higher now, but the
hype is on topic.

As to why certain posters feel compelled fill the group with verbatim
press releases (marketing), ask them. One of them at least reads the
group.
