Flajim has a terrific idea:

"I get so upset by these spoofers, that I think I am going to make more
crossposts between rec.boats and numerous unrelated newsgroups, because
at least that is not detrimental to rec.boats. This group needs some
new blood, and that is always a good way to get some new posters who
enjoy boating as much as i do."


Sounds like a winner...25 to 50 new recruits from other groups ought
to be enough to drive home those coffin nails ID spoofers such as
flajim have been pounding here.

All agreed?


This is a strange group. Are you talking Amway-type recruits?

We have a rather disruptive poster here who tends to cross post
political fireworks to several nut job groups when he gets ignored or
otherwise dismissed. Last time it was a nightmare, we had kooks with 800
post threads just calling each other names for months. There is some
good stuff on this board, but a high noise ratio should be expected.
Once you decide to set filters your reading will be much easier. 4-5
disruptive posters will show themselves soon enough, start with the name
callers and you should do just fine...
