There is now a new subgroup of RHF called rec.humor.funny.reruns . A lot of the old favourites and classics have already been posted. That makes it a lot harder to come up with good submissions compared to when you're just starting a joke collection. The gems will be fewer and farther between. Now, with this web server, you can read the old jokes and enjoy a good laugh more often.
Tastes vary, both among moderators, and among readers.
We have to expect that some people who liked an old moderator will not be as pleased with a new one, and vice versa. Sorry to hear that. We do hear that, alas, on just about every joke that is even slightly offensive. Please read the policy on offensive jokes for more details. Brad Templeton started it because he wanted to do it.
