But you can. INstitute your killfile, and don't respond to
them. NOw if we could get others not to respond either,
because the attention is what is wanted.
Certain individuals who won't be mentioned by name are happy as long as a thread even discusses them by name.
To be totally ignored is a usenet death sentence, and that
is the only policy which will discourage said individual(s)
and improve the snr.

What part of "been there, done that, didn't work" don't you understand? At
least this way all his descendants will be able to see what a loser grandpa
was when they google him.

AFAIK, few if any.

You are dreaming.

Right, and it is currently being stimulated quite heavily by you!

> Too bad you can't filter the low end noise sources.

Sure you can, virtually every newsreader has a killfile facility. Since you
can't discipline yourself, you either ought to use it, or change over to a
newsreader that has one.

Do you seriously think that in 2009, a bunch of live sound people would know
who's who among high end mainframe system programmers back in the 1980s?

If you're so knowlegable about things back then, off the top of your head
give us the name of the well-known consulting group I worked for, and the
name of the well-known president of that company.
