When I last visited unnc a few years back the content of the group 
was for the most part on-topic. You say it hasn't been trashed. 
We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

My complaint was about nym-shifting to avoid the killfile. I can be 
killfiled and stay killfiled. That said, I've had my say and will 
not add to the noise of unnc anymore unless I see a reply to a post 
of mine that needs addressing.

You've not been following this thread very carefully then.
Chris Caputo was advertising his new improved service on abn-s-c. A 
potential new customer asked him "Do you have any kind of "Don't 
frequently nymshift to evade kill-files" policy?".
CC replied "No".
The potential new customer also asked him "If a troll was nym-
shifting several times a day to disrupt a news group would you ask 
them to stop?".
Again CC replied "No".
