moronic content and cross posting

greetings all,
what a pity the content of this group is going down the toilet.
why is it that supposedly intelligent people can't resist adding to the crap
generated by the 2 resident obsessive compulsive clowns by cross posting and
troll feeding?
I presume most folks coming here come here to read and talk about SW stuff,
no?
for my part I am happy to add to the blocked senders list on this pc - about
50 addresses so far but what a waste of time and bandwidth for everyone and
probably a pity for some who are then posting useful content because I don't
then see it..
so far I have resisted binning SW regulars but I am getting tempted just to
clean up the screen.
although I am more happy with a laid back tone than a formal one I really
would like to see a bit more brain power applied here.
how about we all try a bit harder to make this place the valuable resource
it can be and cooperate to kill the nonsense by ignoring it.
have a pleasant weekend
neil

 

This is another example of an OT post not so marked ....

I just posted on this (in another thread? don't recall). If you have a
newsreader with some decent filtering ability, most of this noise
disappears. I use the Gravity newsreader (free download at
http://cws.internet.com/file/11436.htm), and have set up its rules just
for this problem.

I killfile the objectionable posters, delete replies with their names in
the message body, and delete messages crossposted to more than one
group. This may delete a few worthwhile messages, but I think the
sensible posters here (which are the great majority) don't feed trolls
or crosspost excessively, so I'm not likely to miss their messages.
