How did this group get flooded with all the bizarre filth. I decided
to stop by when I saw strange cross-posting and for the life of me
can't see how you co-exist with the freaks that have made your site
home. My Mom would love the pond talk but would faint if exposed to
the trolls. Fascinating place.


Not so bad if you know how to filter the cross-posters. What always amazes
me is those who choose to respond to the cross-posters, cross post
themselves and have to repeat what those I've already killfiled said. If
they object to the filth, why do they insists on republicizing it. Dunno. So
I end up seeing it anyway. Sigh.

The only answer is to swamp the group with on-topic posts then you have
more to read and less to filter in comparison...JMO (a lurker for over

My Mom's been a pond fanatic for years. She made my Dad have the
large patio area torn out and reassembled according to her vision with
a pond, waterfalls and such. I'd love to set up her kill-files and
direct her here, this type of group is her dream. But one bad post
gets through and she'd probably faint. I could also see her getting
herself into trouble by responding to the trolls with her opinions and
suggestions to clean up their language...could be funny.
