Whatever happened to this group? It's filled with children and CB'ers (or
are they one in the same?) This is an amateur radio newsgroup, and people
shouldn't have to keep adapting their filters to weed out this trash. In
the early days of usenet, this group was worthwhile. I thought that once
KC8JBO was eliminated all this would go away.

Welcome to the Wild World of Usenet. Personally, I don't mind
doing filter adaptation. Heck, I need to do a variant of the same thing
on the air to clean up the QRM.

Remember that Usenet has been around since the late 70's at least,
and that it has a long and very colorful history of flame-fests, off-
topic, and pointless posts.

The problem only got worse once the Internet came into the public
view, mainly because it resulted in a huge influx of people who barely
knew what the Internet was, let alone Usenet, and were utterly ignorant
of even the most basic "Rules of the Road" that the veteran users had
been living by for decades.

Even today, a huge chunk of the 'net's users seem to think that
the WWW is the 'net, and that the same conventions often applied to E-
mail should apply anywhere. Don't even get me started on how much non-
binary trash I've seen contaminate the alt.binary.* hierarchy.

The good news is that once you get to that 'sweet spot' for your
reader's filters, you will indeed lose most of the noise and get real
signal (though you may be surprised at how much gets filtered). It just
takes a while sometimes.

One thing: Please don't top-post. It's a good way to cause other
readers to lose the context of a given thread very quickly. This link
has more details.
