A big thank you to those who treat this newsgroup with respect and
post
relevant topics, I "block sender" everyone else and don't waste time
reading
irrelevancies (most means little anyway if, like me, you live
outside the
US).

I very much appreciate those who have the sense, courtesy and
politeness to
only post topics regarding shortwave radio to this shortwave radio
newsgroup.

Think radio, its great!

I don't use the "block sender" feature, because I feel it's easy
enough to ignore posts you don't like. At worst, you could be missing
some good on-topic posts from the ones who go sometimes (often?) go
off-topic. It's not a crime against humanity, and one shouldn't take
the whole usenet experience too seriously.

For what it's worth, I appreciate many of your shortwave posts,
and also appreciate many more from other "regulars" who may be in your
"killfile".

Since I've done the occasional off-topic post myself, I suspect
you've probably killfiled me too, based on your comments, but I
sincerely hope not.

The kill file just makes it easer to read the group. Some people are not
worth the time to read ever. Mike Terry is a known idiot Troll. Some
Trolls are amusing and I don't kill file them but Mike Terry is not one
of them. It just boils down to what you want to spend your time doing.
