| The problem with these people who post to newsgroups that have nothing to
do
| with the news group subject and all the porno posts is very easy to fix if
| you really want to, First understand that these people don't care about
our
| hobby amateur radio or shortwave, all they want to do is get you ****ed
off
| so you will reply to their posts this is the game they play, If you really
| want to fix this problem and help everyone on this group this is what you
do
| and this works for any newgroup.

| DON'T reply to these peoples posts, this is exactly what they want you to
| do, by replying to these fools all you do is give them a platform to play
| their little games, also by getting mad and posting replies you make the
| situation worse for everyone. First what I have done is go through all the
| posts on the newsgroup and click on the post that offends you once it is
| highlighted in Outlook Express all you do is click on the Message tab and
| click on BLOCK SENDER, do this to everyone of the post you don't want to
see
| again, it will only take a little time to do and at the end you have a
clean
| newsgroup with posts that have to do with the subject the group was
started
| for. What even makes things worse are all the people who get mad and post
| replies to these posts, what you end up doing is making things even worse
| for everyone now instead of having one bad post you have several bad posts
| form many people, what I have had to do is go in and block all the peoples
| post who reply to these bad posts, It's bad enough having these people
| posting to the newsgroups but then you have several people replying and
this
| is making it even worse, so sadly I have had to BLOCK ALL POSTS from
people
| who reply to these bad post to clean up the newsgroup.
|
| Now every time I receive new post on this group at least 99 % of all the
bad
| posts are gone and the problem of people replying to the bad posts is
fixed,
| once in a while when a new fool posts to the group and someone thinks they
| have to reply to the post I just BLOCK both of them. The problem is fixed
| and now I can enjoy the newsgroup.
|
| If you really care about cleaning up these newsgroups and helping good
| people like yourself please think about this. Regards to all you out
there.

| (ps) there really is no reason to reply to this post, all I ask is you
think
| about what I have said. !

Wow. That's, um....helpful and stuff.
