Chuck's dot was an attempt to keep trash posts out of the group. What's the
reason for your crap?

Let me suggest this to anybody wishing to stop trash posts:

1) If you must respond, it is counterproductive to repost the trash
post. If you don't want to see it, why copy it (again and again)?

the trash poster's links. If you don't want to see it, why copy it

Back when I was deleting the text of messages like this, a large
number of people all bitched about "censorship".

Munging the title leaves the hateful crap there for everybody to read.

That normally reduces bitching down to the Jim, Charlie Morgan, and
Don White (see below) contingency. Two of those three would complain
if I posted that Monday followed Sunday, and the third hasn't had a
positive thing to say to anybody in months.

There isn't a good way to do this that will make everybody happy.
In fact, it isn't about making anybody happy- it's about picking up
trash.
