The morons have to die sooner or later, whether they be bible pounders or
rogue ponders with a vendetta. Im tired of the scumbags ruining the group as
much as anyone, but the only solution that works is to ignore the idiots,
wait for them to move on to other things, filter them out when you can and
get on with our business.

There is a solution to the flame wars and all the spam. Other newsgroups
use a
method that seems to work well. For instance, if you post to
alt.binaries.pictures.astro (a newsgroups for amatuer astronomers who want
to
share their astrophotographs), you are requested to post "astro:" at the
beginning of the subject line. Then everyone, by mutual agreement,
creates a
messege filter in their newsreader that filters out any post that doesn't
have
"astro:" in the subject line. Why can't we all agree to put "PONDS:" in
our
subject line when posting and then simply filter out any messege that
doesn't
include "PONDS:"? I think we should include this in the FAQ, and ask
everyone
to do this. It might not filter out all of it, but it certainly should
help get
rid of a lot of it. And it might take a while to catch on, but if we all
agree
to it, and remind people to do it when posting, it might alleviate some of
the
crap. What say all???
