With all of these nonsense posts/threads ...I have an idea:

If someone (or many of us at one time) would reply to these threads, but
remove rec.aviation - would the thread then follow that post - with rec
aviation removed? Throw the hounds off our scent so to speak. Could it work?

Except for those that just respond to the original article, and replies to
that, etc.


Regardless if it will work or not, if people want to post to (outside group)
nonsense threads, would it be too much to ask you to remove rec.aviation
from your reply? Thanks.

This is the real answer. Really, the nutballs should just be ignored. However,
I guess that is just asking too much ;-\

I rarely respond to the OT posts (I don't think I ever have, but I hate to
say 'never'), but for those that must, it sure sounds like a solution, except
that some newsgroup has to be left in the list - which group should be punished?


Go play in their sandbox if that sounds fun, but come back here - alone. We
really don't want those other newsgroups playing in our sandbox. They smell.

I just [sigh...] don't think it will work, but it sure sounds nice, doesn't it?

Personally, I've never understood the desire some have to engage in those
threads. In most cases, they seem to be trying to prove to the nutball that
he/she is a nutball. Do they really think this is possible?

.... but now I'm getting off topic ;-)
