I read about 10 different newsgroups. With the proliferation of other

For the last week or so, this newsgroup has been the only one with posts
- not counting an occasional troller/spammer who gets through the
filters.

Wonder how long this group will keep going?


Probably not very long.

A troll going by the name Harry along with a few others have destroyed
two boating newsgroups. Harry is now working on Alt. Home.Repair. One of
his puppets is posting on this group now. Often playing the part of a
buffoon.

They will succeed here as well because usernet people cannot control
themselves. The trolls simply start off topic controversial threads and
the usernet people go off the deep end.

Sex, politics, religion and racism are their favorites topics. Throw in
some bad language then watch the fireworks.


An English teacher assigned her class to write a short story mystery
using profanity, religion, politics and sex. One student handed in a
paper that said simply,
"My God!", said the Queen. "I wonder who did it?"
He got an A.

Is that far enough off the deep end? Is this destroying ARM?
