Default Abusive postings

From very limited acquaintance with their like, it appears that the recent
crop of capitalised offensive headings are mostly intended to contain their
message within the heading itself.

Of course, one can block the sender even without reading the message. (Right
click on 'From:' and select 'Block Sender')

However, each time that somebody responds to the provovation, the headers
are repeated; the offence is
further disseminated and our screens are further debased.

As far as the influencing the originators is concerned, response is futile.



Note that most of these abusive postings are crossposted to multiple
newsgroups. Set your newsreader to killfile any postings crossposted
to more than three newsgroups and the abusive posts, as well as
followups, are gone. This is very effective in ridding newsgroups of
noise.
