My killfile has plenty of folks in it and room for plenty more. It amazes
me that the NG is still dealing with this petty annoyance.

Have I earned a spot in other's killfiles? Who cares? Life will go on.

While I agree with you, I'm still deeply saddened by the turn of events.
There was a time here when we were all friends -- and I mean *all* friends.
The list of names of great posters who have moved on to other forums thanks
to the trolls is way too long.

But, everything in life is cyclical, and I expect this is just an especially
deep downturn. Everyone and every thing changes, and (sooner or later)
Bertie, Maxwell, and (to a lesser extent) MX will move on and leave the
group in peace. Or, perhaps the migration to web-based forums will be
complete, and this group will simply dissolve.

Heck, even when this group was (IMHO) great, there were posters here
lamenting the "day AOL opened up the newsgroups" as if that was the utter
ruin of this group. It's ironic how insignificant that event turned out to
be, in the long run.
