I disagree, this board as you call it, went to ****, as it were, the day the
wall street journal published that the law firm which did the first USENET
SPAM got $230,000 in business from it.

The signal to noise ratio, always low, has gotten much lower over the years,
but a good filter helps.

People come and go, and I remember the time anyone could bring a newsgroup to
its knees with 3 words: "Turkish Armenian Genocide"

:-)

Geoff.

Apparently my usenet provider filters for me as I rarely see any spam
here. I find toying with the dittoheads amusing.

I am always ready to talk radio. Unfortunately, what's left besides bad
commercial radio, un-listenable non-commercial radio, and disappearing
HFBC, is UTE monitoring, which seems to generate little interest around
here.
