It's so sad to see Tom leave.

There must be something we can do to keep this NG alive.

A strict filtering regimin to eliminate Krause and any one else who
exhibits similar behavior could work.

Would anyone like to share any ideas to fix this NG? We could conference
over at Chucks via PM if he will allow it. Or maybe we could do it via
email.

A strictly adhered to filter regiment might work, but many, including me,
get sucked back into discussions by quoted references. I am willing to try
to totally ignore, if that is the consensus.

My concern, in the case of Harry, is that if he runs out of people to insult
or listen to his politics, he would just crosspost in an attempt to
encourage and draw in new blood. Hell, he has already acknowledged that.

I've had him filtered for a couple of weeks but I still see his crap in
90% of the posts here. We have to do something to get rid of him or
there will never be peace here.

You could get a powerful start by taking away Scotty's computer. He's
incapable of stifling himself, and Harry LOVES the attention. He's a
troll attractant if ever there was one.

Actually, Scotty is about the only one of the Seven Little Schitts with
whom I engage in badinage. Virtually all the rest are on my dumpster or
ignore list. If I loved the attention, as you say, I'd engage them all.

I haven't ignored Scotty because he, along with Loogy, who I do ignore,
are the perfect examples of what is wrong with rec.boats. Both of them
are like puppets on a string or, if you will, like Pavlov's dog. At a
very slightly higher level are posters like John H., who has a boat but
doesn't use it, and Reggie, who, above all, is the rec.boats designated
coward. I filter both of them here. But I haven't gotten around to
setting up filters on Gene's server, which I visit occasionally.
