I agree with Brian. If people would stop encouraging (replying to) him,
the S/N ratio would significantly decrease.

Unfortunately, there are a few who want to encourage him. I don't mind
if people talk *about* him - but people should stop responding to him.

Yeah, but those people like the drama as much as Gareth.

I guess this group is just done for.

I wouldn't say so so quickly; just get people to stop responding to Big G.

BTW - please let me know when the ukram vote comes up. I'm through with
the know-it-alls in uknnc.

I've seen this happen in normally unmoderated groups. Troll posts
disruptive post, group owner gets complaints, puts troll
on moderation list, troll is starved of attention, group recovers calm.
True, troll is seething and ranting but no one cares. His anger becomes
his
own padded cell, with him bouncing around in it.
Ignoring the troll has the same impact, as we've seen in uk.r.a, not to
mention the impact of my ignoring Evans for extended periods.

There has been no impact, for I continue to chastise you for being the
unruly and disruptive attention seeker that you have always presented as.

But unmoderated groups have now "owner" and no "moderation lists", so it
won't work here.

Yes, if only everyone would ignore him.

I'm not so sure he is a troll but rather has mental health issues.

I've seen similar behaviour from those in the early stages of Alzheimer's
and if that is the issue, he won't be around for much longer.

Or he could just be an ordinary nutter.

Well, if he is mentally ill, then by all means let's insult and make fun
of him.

As the above is just guesswork and there is no official diagnosis, at
this point we can concider him to be just a pain in the butt crank.

Perhaps if enough people pour onto him, he will take advantage of that
free health care in the UK and get himself checked out.

The advanced EM texts all describe the mechanism by which short
antennae are poor radiators.

How the once-technical Yankland descends into the abyss of
rednecked abusive ignorance!

Perhaps those legislators who tried to pass a law defining PI as
3 are now the cadre of those holding Ham licences in Yankland?

And yet again the gas bag of gas bags posts pure nonsense.

The tale of a legislature trying to pass a law to make pi 3 was
an April Fool's parody in 1998.

It is not surprising the gas bag believes April Fool's parodies, old
wive's tales, urban legands, and other such nonsense.
