I completely agree with this as far as trolls are concerned, but that's not what
we seem to have here. We've got a couple of loonies that are posting garbage and
cross-posting it to half the world. I doubt that the amount of feedback they get
from this group has any influence over whether or not they retain the group in
their cross-posting list. In fact, I doubt that they even look at this group at
all - they just post to it. So I doubt that they will ever "disappear."

That doesn't mean that we should start answering their stuff, though.
Cross-posting an answer will just increase the amount of traffic in these
threads, and, if you remove the other groups from the list, your post will
probably not even be seen by the perps. It will just be another annoyance to the
rest of us.

The lack of "real" traffic here is caused by the fact that no novice is going to
come in and start participating in a group with this much garbage. The people
who are left here (myself included) all think they are fairly knowledgeable, so
we don't have a lot to say if nobody else asks questions. We also have each
other's mail addresses and tend towards private discussions instead of posts.
