Not going to happen. The people who do this have no consideration for
anyone else, and can't be bothered. You're better off to ignore such
people IMHO.

I think we can all be guilty of forgetting to snip sometimes but the worst
offenders are the people spamming across several newsgroups. They appear to
believe that constant repetition of their barmy army messages will recruit
people to their cause and do not realise that in fact, it's a total turn
off!
At present, someone who posts here regularly - mostly trying to annoy - has
decided to carry on a 'chat' with one of these spammers, including all the
cross-posted groups and IMO, that sort of person is more contemptible for
setting out deliberately to attract such trouble to a group, than the odd
troll with a bee in its bonnet or the genuine urgler who has a netiquette
lapse occasionally.

The killfile is your friend.

It's cold and rainy today.


Warm and sunny here again with a little cloud at lunchtime but now a clear
blue sky. According to my car thermometer, it reached 82F here yesterday!
