It wouldn't matter how many folk ya plonk as long as there are others to
keep replying to crossposted off topic policrap it is going to pop back up.
If you filter OT then you lose a lot of the sometimes interesting stuff.
Part of the problem is that the crossposting has gotten sort of epidemic.
Gunner is not the only one crossposting to RCM from other groups with
policrap.

Hey Gunner,

I know you are very politically active, but could you please
reconsider including the metalworking newsgroups in your crossposting?
It's a simple matter to remove them before replying... or when
starting a post, keeping metalworking OUT of the list.

Perhaps you're not noticing that often OT: posts will have OT:
in the subject line. You can set up your newsreader to ignore those
threads. Filtering is much more of a workable approach than trying to
dictate what someone else does or doesn't post.

So, what you're saying is this: 1,000 people should all have to
configure their newsreaders to filter ONE or TWO people's posts
instead of those two people just keeping their posts where they are
welcomed?

Hm.... I'd LIKE to think Gunner and company are more polite and aware
than that... but I could be wrong.
