I agree with this. Off subject posting is so annoying.

Just kill file them, and anyone who replies in their threads. If they
think they are actually bothering the group, they will post so much crap
the group will be completely useless. They live to **** people off.

This same group has worked its way through several NG's I frequent. On
most, they gave up and went away fairly quickly, but on some they are
still around because people feed them by answering them.
That is the case here. Homer Simpson in particular can't resist
answering them, which just feeds them.

I'm guilty of replying to a couple of these. Just got so mad seeing that
BS. Anyhow, I can just picture this "B&C" person as an unemployed,
overweight slob sitting on an old saggy couch (whether the sag is due to
the weight or just age is the topic for another discussion) in front of
a second-hand WebTV tapping out this crap on the ho-hum wireless
keyboard. On the splintering coffee table in front is a half-eaten plate
of greasy chicken and way too many empty beer cans.

You fell into their trap as they planed! Actually, most of these are
young people who subscribe to web sites that teach you how to destroy
NG's. They actually collect 'points' for their actions of the day as
reviewed by their peers.

Oh right, it's my fault. Hmm, and yet I killfile all of his 'email addresses
(fake)' so how can that be? Oh, perhaps my replies to others replies. But of
course that's not their fault. Right.
