Hey, you just need a better newsreader. I use GNUS, part of GNU

few others, 90% of the posts are gone and 95% of the junk.

And you're left with exactly, what?

The good stuff.

Wow, you guys really filter-out Jay?

Wow, you really like his astonishingly ignorant off-topic posts?

I can't decide whether to be disappointed...or honored.

So good riddance to 90+% of the posts, and the few idiots who have
managed to spoil the NG over the past couple of years, and farewell to
those few remaining sensible contributors. I admire your patience and
tolerance. Mine have given out!


My, my! After browsing through more than a hundred replies in this
thread, I can see why the OP has abandoned this NG. With the
exception of 2 or 3 posters that stayed on topic, the rest of the
thread is proof positive that Jay was wise to quit this NG.

This is worth noting. Jay Somerset, who started this thread, said he
would no longer take part in this newsgroup.

Jay, thus far, is a man of his word. This 5/11 post was the last one
by that username. to the group. There is honor among posters!
Paraphrasing something often said, it's a superior poster who uses
superior judgment to avoid circumstances where his superior posting
skills are needed.

There may be a lesson here somewhere.
