Drop all posts from googleposters http://improve-usenet.org


Interesting site. My ISP (Sympatico) dropped direct free Usenet
support and dumped me onto some other Usenet provider that requires a
paid subscription for posting (reading is free). So that drove me and
a bunch of other Sympatico users to Google Groups in order to post. If
I posted more often, I would probably do most of my reading using GG
but normally continue with the Outlook Express newsreader and the free
Usenet server. The position of improve-usenet seems to be akin to
banning all Corvettes from the road because there are some bad
drivers.

More like banning Corvettes because most are bad drivers.
I currently have the filter set to flag googlers instead of outright
dropping them, the ratio of interesting posts is just under half.
IOW: Over half the googlers are uninteresting nym**** trolls.
I really don't care what means of access folks use,

- are held in fairly low regard

You weren't dropped or I wouldn't be responding.
I think it was Brenda Ann that turned me on to how bad the whole google
operation is, and why I use google scraperhttp://www.scroogle.org/
also did you see the link to what some other folk think?http://improve-usenet.org
I'm not quite that harsh but do agree somewhat.
p.s. - see the distribution line in my header

...and Roy,
since you seem like a **** load of links in your posts,
here's another one : http://tinyurl.com/5u26u
