Default Eliminating Trolls (again)

"Jay Honeck" wrote in

The quality of the discussions here has diminished by a factor of
ten. So have the quantity of people with real experiences to give
input to the discussions.


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.




Excelent suggestion d00d

Jaybo
