I agree 100% Jim. But I have a simple solution.
1. Use a newsreader like "Windows Mail" or "Outlook Express". As much
as I liked the search powers of Google Groups, their lack of any sort of
filtering reduced this newsgroup to chaos. I have therefore abandoned GGs.
2. With three keystrokes, you can create a killfile that utterly
eliminates every post by anyone you so designate as persona non grata.
I was two steps out the door from this group before rediscovering
newsreaders. Now, I only see the "good stuff" again, and the trolls can
do their continual verbal circle-jerk in complete anonymity, for all I
care.
Of course, the sad part is that this has all become necessary.
Killfiles weren't necessary for the first 9 years I was on this group,
but when a small-but-determined group of trolls with (seemingly endless)
time on their hands takes a hankering to a group, it's obvious that they
can destroy it pretty easily.
