I'm breaking policy and using filters to cut Bunyip and other
non-sailing posters...among a few others! This after the following
e-mail from Taddy. You have him to blame...

Bad bad Taddy.

I used to respect Taddy. How did he go so bad?

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.
