If these idiots never get any replies, they will eventually give up

I don't think any of the regular participants in this newsgroup do reply
to the disruptive group. Their messages are cross-posted to many
newsgroups, and there seems to be a small group of them who keep each
other going, plus I'm sure they raise some responses from rra.policy
readers. Each of them seems to feel the need to share their unwelcome
banter with inappropriate groups such as this one. What we get here is
their QRM, due to their lack of courtesy and adult behavior. I don't see
any ready cure for it short of moderating the group. Without moderation,
any group of bored children can cause a great deal of disruption, and
that's what we have here.

Hopefully, though, the situation is just temporary. As the sun spots
improve, 11 meter skip will return, so maybe they'll go back to CB where
the level of their conversation is more appropriate and appreciated. I
always thought that 75 meter phone was the home for this sort of thing,
but maybe they don't have ham licenses.
