1. Don't reply. Ever. Just gets them all excited.
2. Filter the poster, or just delete the headers.

Flonkers, besides being pussies, are lazy. They nearly always use the
same handle. Ego thing. Easy to just delete, whether you use a
filter or not. With a newsreader anyway. Don't know about google.
Once you filter the main assholes, and occasionally add new ones, they
simply disappear from view.
I read ASA, and disagree with salty about what killed that group.
Wasn't flonkers, it was the group members themselves.
The flonkers were easily ignored, as I said above.
Probably got old and quit sailing, so they just started farting all
the time, as oldsters are wont to do.
Same thing here.

If you followed ASA, it was mostly as a lurker. You didn't
participate. You killed it.

Sure I participated.

No, you most certainly did not participate in any meaningful way. How
many sailing threads that garnered responses did you START?

One at least. Maybe more. Not bad considering the crowd there and
that I don't have a boat.

An occasional "me too" response in a thread is not the type of
participation that counts towards keeping a newsgroup vital.

Sorry, I was involved in quite a few threads where I thought my input
might be useful. As I said, they weren't your kind of thread.

You were decidedly part of the problem.

If you want to see me as part of the ASA "problem" be my guest.
