This group is out of control
When I subscribed to this group back in January, it was a good place
for information. As of late, it has turned into something else. I know there are a lot of loyal subscribers who are willing to spend their time handing out valuable knowledge to others that are in need of assistance. Yet there are some who just seem intent on destroying the group and driving readers away. To them, I say congratulations, you have succeeded. To those that wish to stick with the group in the hope that it comes back under control, I say best of luck. To everyone else that has helped me out with their feedback in the past, I say thank you. In the mean time, I'm looking for another group. Tim J. |

Sorry I can't help, I've no problems at all with the group and I'd be happy to show you how I do it, but I see you're running Mozilla and you'd have to get a newsreader that allows scoring as well as killfiling in order to eliminate all the trolls and troll responses. News readers that support scoring are Xnews (that's what I use), 40tude Dialog, Pan (maybe, I know the old version does, not sure about the new version) and SLRN. The last two are more popular with Linux although there is a pretty good Windows port of the old Pan and a 32 bit windows version of SLRN. If you do think about changing newsreaders, scoring help is readily available at news.software.readers along with any other help you might need. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

Re: This group is out of control
This is Usenet. It is just part of the free service you get. If you don't
like it find a moderated or otherwise restricted bulletin board. Honestly, I am not even paying attention to most of Bill and his pals.
