The vandals of the internet!

So, no, this newsgroup is probably not viable any more.


The only thing that will make it not viable is if people like you, who
like to post and read cruising info, start believing it is not viable
and you quit using it. If you let these kooks convince you of that, they
win.


I second that.

I logged on this morning (UK, so after all the Americans posted
yesterday evening), and I saw four threads, and no spam. If 'kooks' are
making your (Cavelamb) time in this group in-viable then you need to
beef up your filters/kill-file.

I hate it when newsgroups 'die'. Mainly because I hate web-formums so
much. There are just too many to follow, and often enough they're run by
the Gestapo who'll ban you if they don't like your opinion, or you
disagree with theirs. No, usenet is the *only* place for free and open
discussion, don't let the 'kooks' win.
