I've learned a great deal from people on this newsgroup either by asking
questions or by lurking. Hopefully, I've been able to pass some help here
and there as well. For the time being, I've decided to take a hiatus
because I'm sick of all the disgusting posts and people going through such
lengths to prevent you from blocking them. It's truly a shame that such a
productive newsgroup has to be ruined by such people.

It's *very* easy to avoid the troll posts. Do a Google search on this
newsgroup for "nfilter" or "newsproxy". Then download my TrollFilters; see my
sig for download instructions. Up until this morning, I hadn't seen *any* of
the "disgusting posts" for a *long* time, and the filters are already updated
to catch the garbage that got through earlier today.
