you can blame your resident netKKKop jonathan ganz for the disruption
in which I was involved.
instead of doing the sensible thing and simply ignoring trolls, ganz
took it upon himself to write numerous unfounded complaints to NSP
abuse departments, which is a guaranteed usenet recipe for the
attention of the meowers.

hopefully as a group you will learn by his mistakes and ostracize that
****wit.



It'll be a cold day in hell when one ****wit ostracizes another
****wit!!! These godforsaken peeps in this froup seem to enjoy throwing
their lot in with known netKKKops like jonathan gaynz. Even when they
experience the results -- the smoking crater effect -- they STILL don't
get a clue.
