    greetings all,
    what a pity the content of this group is going down the toilet.
    why is it that supposedly intelligent people can't resist adding to the crap
    generated by the 2 resident obsessive compulsive clowns by cross posting and
    troll feeding?
    I presume most folks coming here come here to read and talk about SW stuff,
    no?
    for my part I am happy to add to the blocked senders list on this pc - about
    50 addresses so far but what a waste of time and bandwidth for everyone and
    probably a pity for some who are then posting useful content because I don't
    then see it..
    so far I have resisted binning SW regulars but I am getting tempted just to
    clean up the screen.
    although I am more happy with a laid back tone than a formal one I really
    would like to see a bit more brain power applied here.
    how about we all try a bit harder to make this place the valuable resource
    it can be and cooperate to kill the nonsense by ignoring it.
    have a pleasant weekend

    I just posted on this (in another thread? don't recall). If you have a
    newsreader with some decent filtering ability, most of this noise
    disappears. I use the Gravity newsreader (free download at
    http://cws.internet.com/file/11436.htm), and have set up its rules just
    for this problem.

    I killfile the objectionable posters, delete replies with their names in
    the message body, and delete messages crossposted to more than one
    group. This may delete a few worthwhile messages, but I think the
    sensible posters here (which are the great majority) don't feed trolls
    or crosspost excessively, so I'm not likely to miss their messages.
