I have watched, lurked, posted and learned many things in this forum over
the years. There were many professionals, handymen, etc., that always

the sexual and religious perverts starting taking over this forum chasing
away a lot of the good people that posted here. To them, I thank you for
ruining a good thing. Your devious and perverted minds could not stand that
normal people had a good forum to exchange repair information and tips. I
hope all the good people leave this forum and just leave you scum here.

BYE !!!!!

The spammers will just follow you! See, your post IS WHY they stay. They
live and post for retorts from those such as yourself..

Having normal people throw their hands up in the air and giving up is
exactly what the riff-raff want to see.

You have to ignore them. They feed on responses.

At some point, you have to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
It is your misfortune that you cannot.

While I feel your pain, I gotta assume this means that you are also
going to move to a cabin in the woods, cutting off your e-mail
service, snail mail service, phone service, TV and essentially all
contact with the outside world.

Once there, you'll have to stay nearby since you can't drive anywhere
- the "spammers, the sexual and religious perverts" have ruined the
highways with billboards and rolling advertisements on buses, trucks
and even rolling billboards. (I saw one built onto a bicycle the other
day, so they could take it to places where the truck mounted
billboards couldn't go.)

In other words, you can run but you can't hide...unless you also hide
from all that is also *good* in the world.

Just like in a real-life neighboorhood, where the bad drives out the
good because the good people aren't allowed to defend themselves.

You've read and lurked for years and still don't know how to
filter or that you don't have to read every article posted to the
'group? Wow... Talk about not learning anything.

You're using OE. The filters are EASY to use. RTFM already.

Learning to use killfiles and filter programs makes Usenet a much more
pleasant experience.

Hi,
No, toughing it out? You lost then. I am staying ignoring those scums.

A few things. One, watch out for that doorknob on the way out. Two, learn
how to use your computer and filters. Three, quit being so thin skinned.
Anywhere you go in the world, you will be in this same exact company, but
you just won't know you're standing next to them.

It's not like there's ANOTHER Internet that's Pollyannish perfect that you
can migrate to. You will be missed as much as one molecule in the universe.

Sheesh. I have a cabin deep in the woods. I have Internet, power, cell
phone, snail mail, just no phone line. I was thinking of living there with
no services, but just couldn't complete the withdrawal stage.

I'm with you, Tony. My browser doesn't filter very well, but my brain
does. Spammers must get bored at some point, but if they don't they are
dull and/or perverse enough to derive some enjoyment from their activity
.... kind of along the lines of sh------ where you live. At any rate,
I'll hang out and look for useful tips. I enjoy people who are good at
what they do and willing to share what they learn.

I haven't found that to be the case on this newsgroup that often. I
think there is much more good advice than there are the odd trolls
etc., but I'll be damned if I'd let them run me off of a helpful group
that I enjoy. Ignoring them is much easier IMO.

The spam on this NG is nothing compared to another NG I read. There is a
lot of good content to be had here.

Based on the number of posts in this NG, there's a much smaller
percentage of spam here than in my corporate e-mail with all it's
rules-based filtering.

I, too read multiple newsgroups. I think the spam is thin here because the
trolls don't get a lot of response. People here are results oriented, and
won't take the time to respond to a troll when they're fighting with a clog.
Too bad it is not so for the other groups. Seems like there's 40% or more
of the group who can't tell you what the topic of the newsgroup is, but
won't hesitate to discuss Bush or Iraq or welfare or whatever ad infinitum
ad nauseum.

Hope it stays like this.

You wouldn't be referring to the Freon-breathing bloated ego dolts in
alt.hvac would you? Everyone ought to read some of the idiotic tripe
that gets posted there as an object lesson in incivility and nasty
rhetoric and precious little actual meaningful content. Sad. Wasted

alt.hvac claims to be for HVAC installers only! Any home owners ( which
they call "ho moaners") that wander in there with an hvac problem will
be greeted by insults and foul language.
They occasionally wander over to alt.home.repair and take potshots at
anyone asking questions about hvac in there too.
