Right on Bob. These guys are too juvie to bother with on a
case-by-case basis. Let the filter do it's work. It's a pleasure not
to see the group cluttered
with their crapola.

Even your long, boring, boat-cleaning posts are better. Now if we
could just knock some sense into Hero.

Oh, I forgot... :-)

You could always filter him out too.

I'm breaking policy and using filters to cut Bunyip and other

You

Not a troll.

Too many posts and I don't use filters as a matter of policy.

R.

Because of the reality that they are all crossposting, and because of
the
sheer
number of nonsense posts, I have abandoned my own policy of never
filtering
anyone, because I haven't the time to individually mark "as read"
those
I'm not
interested in. You may not have noticed that even the University of
Berlin is
starting to come in on this particular flame war, which says a great
deal
for
the resistance alt.sailing.asa is putting up. This bunch of ******s
has
never
actually hit something like us before.

In any case, their intention is to shut down alt.sailing.asa, as they
have
done
to other newsgroups. It's very easy to circumvent their intent, just
continue
on. It's also very easy to give them what they want, which is a
useless
and
lifeless shell remaining of the newsgroup. All you have to do is
leave.

If continuing needs filters, then it needs filters. Anyone wants my
attention
and cant get it on the newsgroup because they're running through (eg)
databasix.com, they can always use direct email, none of which is
ever filtered.
