Post any problem you may be having under another header.
We have a lot of talented and knowledgeable people who post

In fact we talk about anything!

Thanks to Carol; she did a nasty thing on ARJ-W, we all have to pay

There is a solution to the flame wars and all the spam. Other newsgroups use a
method that seems to work well. For instance, if you post to
alt.binaries.pictures.astro (a newsgroups for amatuer astronomers who want to
share their astrophotographs), you are requested to post "astro:" at the
beginning of the subject line. Then everyone, by mutual agreement, creates a
messege filter in their newsreader that filters out any post that doesn't have
"astro:" in the subject line. Why can't we all agree to put "PONDS:" in our
subject line when posting and then simply filter out any messege that doesn't
include "PONDS:"? I think we should include this in the FAQ, and ask everyone
to do this. It might not filter out all of it, but it certainly should help get
rid of a lot of it. And it might take a while to catch on, but if we all agree
to it, and remind people to do it when posting, it might alleviate some of the
crap. What say all???
