Yes, that's subscribing. It's not like you pay anything.

Good luck!

This isnt bad compared to many groups. Although its worse than it was in the past. I just use the delete key a whole lot.

Once you killfile Bill Hughes and his cast of idiots, there is some fairly decent information tossed around amongst the typical chitter chatter that keeps the group from becoming sterile.

They are your cast of idiots, that YOU allow to post here. We get the group we deserve. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

I'm afraid so, otherwise the only cure is to leave the group as I did after being here only a few months. That's how newsgroups die, unfortunately. I decided no trolls were going to drive me away from a newsgroup that contained information I needed so I'm back with a very modified scorefile and the trolls, along with the idiots who respond to them, are gone.

That, and someone might report you for OT posting, or something of that nature. ;) I know some of the guys got fed up and went to forums which can be moderated and much more civilized. I guess I'm just sentimental.

Trouble is that sometimes the OT posts are pretty interesting too. Kind of like sitting around the camp fire and shooting the bull with a group of friends.

Personally, I like this particular format because I can A) Read it with OE while I'm doing my email and so on B) Choose who I want to see and who I don't.

A yahoo type group has no appeal to me personally. That's just me though, in this case I am sure that I am the exception.
