The message
from "roddy" contains these words:

Well I have seen it happen to other groups; the serious posters move on and
leave the shell to the spammers et al; it does get tiresome.
Still there is always the closed newsgroup route.

That isn't going to happen here, one of usenet's longest-established
groups with many longterm regular posters.

BTW, "serious posters" here don't top post, either.
