Be sure to strip out the cross posting if you want to take part in the
effort. If nothing else it's going to annoy the jerks since their ever
so clever attempts will not be distinguished by a unique subject.

Yep I am being conciencious of doing this. What you say above is the
key for us getting our group back :-)

I will only do this to "initiated and already known off topic threads"
that are not aviation related. It only takes a second and as you will
see, I just leave the one line showing who posted the off topic
material. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to work with thread
drift as I encountered in my other group.

Persistence will be the key to success but it will be as I said
earlier a cat and mouse game. If my experience in the other group
trues out here, they will get tired of the "majority" if we can get
others to join in in our revolt to get back this group.

In the beginning it will seem to be a non aviation topic fray, but
when you think about it, by having them focus in their attempts to re
control old threads, they are not posting new threads. So, on short
term, post count may go up, but new thread count will go down.

At least this was my experience in the other group.
