You are quite dishonest to yourself. My contribution (and pretty much that
of Runki Twelve's too) to off topic posts are about nil. You are right,
there are a few dozen turds around who persistently poo poo in rte. I don't
point fingers. Perish the thought. However, tags like Magda, a couple of
faggots, Evelyyni and Martin are those who keep up "discussion". In general
your analysis about the Rise and Fall of the Usenet is bollocks. Naturally I
am grossly more experienced and knowledgeable of two of us as far as the
usenet is concerned and it provides the soundness and robotness which aren't
your trademarks.
Usenet can filter crap only by registering both the machinery and their
users. Policy is as simple as this.
