I have no problem with what people from The Cellar post.  Only with one
individual.  Which is why my Kill file contains:

(gnus-kill "From" "techie@cellar.org")
(gnus-expunge "X")

I don't think blaming an entire site for one person's postings is fair, unless
you see a number of people posting from there, which I haven't.

And to be honest, I have no problem with what techie posts.  I just think he
chooses the wrong newsgroups to post in.  There are appropriate places to
discuss what he discusses.  I just don't happen to feel phl.misc is one of
them.
