I see this newsgroup is being overrun by trolls and spammers. This has also
happened with most of the other newsgroups. I hope most of the regulars
here realize that you can block a sender so their posts do not appear on the
list, at least to you. In Outlook Express, click on the message from the
one you want to block, then select (top menu) TOOLS and then BLOCK SENDER.
I'm sure other reader programs have similar features.

It got so bad over at the alt.war.vietnam group that the sane among us
formed our own Yahoo Group several years ago. The format is a little more
clumsy but we control membership.

Just a couple of suggestions worth what I am charging.
