who owns this group?
There is so much trolling going on,
seems like it is hard to make sense of half the posts. Somebody educate this newbie. Please! If in fact the group is owned by the troll, then I will wander off. If it isn't, then I got to go get a box of trollbait. -Wolf |

ISTM that a guy called "The Puppy Wizard" is posting to this group with long and boring posts...under different names, so that he can *not* easily be kill-filed.

In my opinion, it is one of the most important news groups there is. Jerry Howe, Puppy Wizard and many other pseudonyms are all the same person. His rants are often very sparsely sprinkled with logic; otherwise he's just a waste of bandwidth. Occasionally, someone will stumble in and just can't resist trying to strike up a thread about J.H. They often quote his entire posts--which are often long and pointless. When these folks persist after they've been advised against doing so, I filter them, too. This is a good to superior group, but you must be able to use your filter. You have to love the sound of the line, more than you love the sound of your own drum.--Drumline |

Thanks for the input.
I am now completely getting the APW aspect of the list. :-) I am going to avoid as many aspects of long-windedness, I may have by forcefully standing for inflicting only good on y'all.

Not every news reader can do this; if you download one of wizards
's post with full header enabled, you might be able to trace back to his root server name, the one used by his ISP. Then try block filtering on that occurrance in the header. You should be able to block all of his posts, regardless of name used. This wizard guy just must have too much time on his hands - can we get him a long hours job somewhere. |
