To me, that stuff is as common as common sense can be. So many of the concepts that were presented in that guide have exact component couterparts echoed throughout my anti-troll posts although I have never laid eyes upon such a guide. What that document did give me though was the "proper" names/labels for the concepts. The deeper I look, the more the usenets seem to be a joke. The laughing stock of the general community. An old school idea that never died. A displaced dinosaur. Phooey. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, there is no easy answer/replacement for NG's. The reality of it is, I enjoy the select few newsgroups that I read and would like to start exercising my *killfile* option. As we all know trolls can be a dynamic bunch of varmints. One idea I did not see explored in the above link was to keep an ongoing thread that (1) informs the less initiated about how to execute a killfile and (2) list all known trolls to the newsgroup for a scrumptious mass-killfile-festival. The obvious obstacle to this is defining what makes a troll on this NG, and then deciding who makes the cut. This is merely an idea, but it can move forward if most of you think it is a good idea and can give suggestions. I am open to whatever, including squashing this idea.
