I used to get all excited about this subject and would write post after
post about it. Then I realized that I was just encouraging them, Now I
scroll through the multiple pages of spam, and click on the woodworking
posts that interest me. I have noticed that the more posts I write in
answer to legimate posters, the more "harvesters" grab my addy and I get
more spam in my e-mail list. Such is life!

Peace ~ Sir Edgar

But Sir Edgar I wasnt responding to the spamers and cross posters I was
responding to the NG. I was just making an observation. Don't remember this
much spam 6 months ago when I was last in here.

Take care,

Rich,

Unfortunately, a few months ago, a post that was innocently cross-
posted to several groups relative to a question that needed an immediate
answer was posted to a group that is inhabited by several world-class
sphincter orifice trolls. Initially those trolls brought some of their
foolishness into this newsgroup through their crossposting of their
mindless meanderings. In addition, they apparently cross-posted into
other infested newsgroups, including rec.ww in the distribution lists.
You are now seeing the trolling from trolls from those other newsgroups;
kind of a secondary and tertiary infection if you will.

Anyhow, in a nutshell that is why you are seeing so many off-topic
posts by non-rec.ww's in the newsgroup.

This too shall pass, just kill-file 'em and forget 'em.
