Too bad this group has become a repository for "freaks":
It used to be a worthwhile discussion group, instead of a group such as:

The problem is there is a tremendous amount of cross posting going on.
Some people like me don't always think to check their headers when
replying and trim them, and for this I personally apologize. Others
just don't care and of course at least one person does it purposely.

I don't understand why so many people don't use filters in their
newsreaders. It's an easy matter to delete all posts automatically that are
by a certain person, that contain a particular word or title, or almost
anything. And it's dead simple to tell your newsreader not to download
crossposted posts.

Neglect. Apathy. Malice.
