Finally a blow of fresh air in the group.
Dozens of similar users posting literally hundreds
of spams every single day, in some other groups
that I followed, rendered them totally unreadable.
Please don't respond to them or even mention them
in your posts, as that may possibly attract more by
being caught by their radars.
These newcomers aim to dethrone Tim from his
undisputed, obsessive posting ratio.
Even as I called most of his posts "spam", I came
to understand his mental illness and his need to
find a place of acceptance and existance in RGB.
I'm using eternal-september, which seems to be
filtering them out automatically (at the expense
of occasionally filtering out a legitimate poster).
I had to go to Google Groups to understand what
you were talking about.
Google has a complete archive of all Newsgroups
which is invaluable for searching, which then makes
using their interface for reading/posting as well.
Too bad Google refuses to filter content even upon
complaint and worse yet, archives all that trash... :(
But imagine that you are the arbiter at Google and
Tim complains about spam from others in RGB,
which of them would you filter...?? :(
