It's easy to tell the spoofers from "the real thing." The spoofers can't
write.



I don't even try to differentiate on spoofers. And the whiner
lefties...with nothing intelligent to say. No rationality, just rhetoric
from sheep that can't think for themselves.


Translation: the "lefties" have called me out so many times on my
lunatic right economic theories, I've given up.



Unfortunately news groups are dying. It was good when the idiots and
spammers were few. Trouble with some moderated boards is you have to
post in a way that appeases the moderator. Take CBC, they even close
some subjects to comment as they manage the herd.

Moderated boards are an answer. So are moderated newsgroups. If
rec.boats were moderated, nine-tenths of the mad-dog righties wouldn't
be here.
