OK, I joined. But it seems to me we're giving in to the trolls (aka
Roy) a little too easily. I've managed to filter out most of the
offensive posts so I'll continue to check this group from time to time.

No..You haven't lost to the trolls. You simply made a wise decision not
to support a usenet that allows trolls to wreak havoc, evading identities
and responsibilities for their actions. Usenet technology is dead
anyway. It's needed a total revamp for years now.

Congradulations are in order, I believe.
Best Wishes.......

I think the troll has won for now. I like the easy exchange of the
newsgroup. I don't like having to sign in to a google site.

I am amazed that the troll/s have so much energy to create so much
garbage. There are hundreds of post over several newsgroups daily.

I will continue to sort through the trash to reply to on topic posts
if I have anything to say.

I think they see that as better than being verbally abused constantly.

School is out in many areas so the bored teenagers are online looking for
fun. Then we have those on SSD and SSI who need something to fill their
endless empty days. Trolling Usenet fits the bill and gets them a lot of
attention.

If we'd all try and ignore them like they do on some of the other NGs
they've invaded these groups can and will survive.

Getting back to fish. I have an AC filter that sounds like a cement mixer.
No matter what I've tried the darn thing make so much noise you can hear it
1/2 way across the house at night. I can hear it now as I type this,
grinding away. This is the first AC that's done this. I may just toss it
although it's only 3 years old.

Just so you know, you can set the Google group up to get messages by
email, listserv style. There's also an RSS feed.

I do miss my newsreader but I flatly refuse to tolerate the group of
lunatics that have moved in.
