We call such formations "NIMBY" groups, or "not in my backyard"
because it's someone wanting others to post in other groups.

Experience shows that NIMBY groups don't work, and netcopping to
say "now you have a group to post that in, go there" is
frustrating to say the least. The only way to get a NIMBY to
work is to have the people posting "offtopic" *want* to form
their own group.

If there is sufficient offtopic it could justify a split towards a
new ontopic newsgroup.
So if soc.man is invaded with offtopic chitchat the ontopic posters
could unite, rationale and move towards soc.men.ontopic and if
that's invaded they could go towards soc.men.ontopic.ontopic
Who needs filters if the solution can be so simple.

f-up set

So, the creation of rec.aviation.piloting.on-topic is yet another
possibility. Thanks.

That's not an option. You need at least three ontopic newsgroups to
make it work.
So you need
rec.aviation.piloting
rec.aviation.piloting.on-topic
rec.aviation.piloting.on-topic.on-topic and
rec.aviation.piloting.on-topic.on-topic.on-topic

To make room for the opposition you need to do the same,
rec.aviation.piloting
rec.aviation.piloting.off-topic
rec.aviation.piloting.off-topic.off-topic
rec.aviation.piloting.off-topic.off-topic.off-topic

Or you could use a filter, a killfile, or ignore oftopic posters.
Or leave Usenet and find a quiet webforum.

f-up back.
